"I want to educate today’s young about the opportunities available to them in the Navy. Share my experiences from work to travel. Everything the Navy provided for me to have a successful career. I want to be able to help provide a great career or career enhancements for as many people as possible."

"Hello, I am here for advice and guidance in the Damage Control Rate and Navy. I have done a lot of things so far in my 11 year naval career, most say that’s more they a lot do in 20 years, but this gives me a lot of experience to pass on. I also am very involved with the civilian emergency services which seems to be the “Big” question on how are job relates. A little about myself, I have been stationed on CG-51 Thomas S Gates, Pre-Com Crew DDG-91 USS Pinckney, NRD Buffalo/Pittsburgh, and currently LHD-5 USS Bataan. I hold NEC’s 4805 Chemical Biological Radiological Defense Specialist, 4811 Damage Control Assistant/Senior Enlisted, 9571 Safety Technician, 9585 Recruiter, and 9595 Hazardous Materials Specialist. I also am a Afloat Training Specialist. Besides all the navy stuff I have many Certifications in civilian firefighting, EMS, Homeland Security, & Emergency Management. I will be glad to pass on how all this is obtainable during your time serving your country."
