Bio 

I Served 4 years as a Naval Aircrewman. I loved my job and the brotherhood I was a part of! Since being out I have struggled to find something that I am passionate about like being an Aircrewman. I am now a Veteran/ Partner solutions advisor. This has allowed me to again pursue something that is much bigger than myself while helping veterans make the transition into high salary IT careers!
