I am more than just an IT professional with years of real world, hands on experience. My passion to learn and get the job done no matter the situation is what sets me apart from my peers. I have had a passion for working with computers and electronics my whole life. My time in the US Air Force and as a Correctional Officer taught me discipline and how to be a leader. At Hewlett Packard I was trained as a system administrator with hands on experience dealing with technical issues on the second largest network in the world. With the Department of Defense I honed my skills as a system administrate/field service representative while continuing to grow as a leader. My job in Afghanistan was not a 9-5 Monday through Friday 40 hour work week like many of my peers. I lived in Afghanistan with the USMC. I did not get sick days or weekends off. The Marine Core relies on my abilities to make sure there networks are running at all times in all conditions.
