In Iraq I was the communications officer for an Apache BN. I was responsible for 13 soldiers and millions of dollars worth of communications equipment. My section provided IT and radio support for our BN and on many occasions, the entire BDE.

I am now retired from the army after serving 20 yrs. I believe that I have received an invaluable amount of management training by achieving and holding the rank of a field grade officer in the US military. I also believe that I have received invaluable management training from my experience as a husband and father. I know I can accomplish any task set before me and contribute to the success of any organization I am a part of.
