Work Experience:

Hello, I am a seperated Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. While in the Army I served over one combat deployment ISO 5th Group Special Forces, and placed top 3 at the Army wide Team of The Year event in 2021. I seperated from the Army after the birth of my second son once I realized that the military career wasnt a suitable career for someone with a family. Since seperating from the military I started college at Western Governers University in pursuit of a degree in Computer Science. While in school I also worked full time as a software engineer in Huntsville, Alabama. Throughout my time working as a software engineer I realized that I'm not cut out for office work and 100% need to get back to having an active trade style job similiar to when I was in the Army. I'm looking to learn a relevant trade skill (Primarily interested in Electrical work as well as HVAC) that can help me provide for my family and provide an active career.
