Ambitious, determined, and aggressive- I desire to serve my country. I earned my degree
in Criminal Justice from The Citadel. I currently serve as a Marine Corps Logistics Officer.
Managing high value projects, adapting to rapid changes, and motivating subordinates towards
a common goal exhilarates me. I enjoy seeing a plan unfold and the feeling of satisfaction that
comes when you're associated with that plan. Team building and organized planning are my
specialties.
