12 years military as US Army 12B with 4 deployments twice in Iraq and twice in Afghanistan. I went in right after high school at the age of 17. I've been given the lucky opportunity go through many different training and certifications but non compared to when I got to practice and train with a few members from F group on one of my deployments in room clearing tactics. Eventually I was awarded the Purple Heart and several other awards and badges for my service. A few years before getting out of service I already had an idea of the kind of work I wanted to be doing once I was done. I jumped right into my new role as a security officer when I got out in March of 2015. I loved it and I took full advantage of my extra down time to take college courses online, Security & Risk Assessment / Managment along with Business Management. Shortly after in 2016 I moved through the ranks and began running operations. I got my training certification in 2017 and I have been training security officers in various companies ever sense. I love training and getting work with and helping others coming into this industry.
