After a successful and fulfilling military career, I returned home to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While in the U.S. Army I served proudly in the 82nd Airborne Division, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) and the last 14 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces "Green Berets."During my time in our country's service I operated in many capacities. I gained valuable experience instructing, supervising and managing personnel, and setting work schedules. I also prepared detailed plans to achieve stated goals and objectives, obtained supplies and equipment, managed a six figure budget, and dealt with logistics for moving goods and personnel thousand's of miles.
I have demonstrated managerial skills with the appropriate focus on long-range planning and detail. My ability to be a team player and my work ethic have been clearly demonstrated during my military career and now as a fleet manager for Westside Transportation (Cedar Rapids, IA).
