Summary
I joined the USMC-R right out of high school as an infantry machine gunner. Within the first year and a half after joining the unit I was assigned the position of team leader (I was a lance corporal at the time). I quickly proved myself and was promoted to the position of section leader, where I was in charge of around 40 Marines. This was a Staff Sergeant position I held as a Lance Corporal. Nearing the end of my contract, I accepted a job as an operations manager for Nature Nates Honey Company in TX where I was in charge of getting the new bottling plant operational. When I started I had 4 employees and when I left to help start a new Georgia location Nature Nates had around 20 employees in the plant. Upon leaving Nature Nates, I moved back home to Franklin, TN and started a construction company which I operated for a year before leaving. I started working for Pinewood Communications as an operations assistant where I stayed into my 5th year. In 2020 I joined the local volunteer fire department and quickly fell in love with that world. I enrolled in an EMT class in 2022 and was hired to work at Fairview Fire Department that same year. I am currently employed at Fairview Fire.
