I started in the government by enlisting in the United States Marines. I toured overseas and ended my time at Fort Detrick. After serving the Marines for 8 years, I began working for the Department of Defense. Over the years I received extensive training in Emergency Management, All-Source Intelligence, Policy, Counterterrorism, and Cybersecurity. I provided successful leadership skills of organizations over 2,000. Given my experience, academic success, proven work ethic, education, and leadership training, I am confident I have the qualities that allow me to excel anywhere. In my free time I volunteer at organizations such as TAPS and the Winfield Fire Department with my wife.
