SUMMARY:

My experience and education in the field of computers, automation, networking, and communications is very diverse. The assignments that I have had they are very demanding and require a great leadership, managerial, and technical skills to be successful. During my time in the 82D Airborne Division I learned vast amounts about computers, automation, networking, and troubleshooting as well as how the Army works in many different tactical environments. I have experience networking computers through Tactical High Speed Data Networks, Tactical Packet Networks, and through traditional garrison network environments. The high quality of the Officers, Warrant Officers, and NCO s who have been my mentors over the years have given me the technical and tactical knowledge that I need to succeed. My leadership has recognized my efforts and made many excellent comments on my NCOER s in addition to the awards and decorations that I have received. My current assignment to the White House Communications Agency has taught me how to better manage property, personnel, and especially time. The Army has given me both professional and personal opportunities that I could never have gotten anywhere else, as well as great training, leadership skills, responsibility, and the will to succeed. I have excelled at every position I have held and will continue to do so throughout my career.
