\nI served nine years in the U.S. Navy Seabees – the navy’s construction force – as a Safety Manager and Project Manager, where I lead a crew and assisted the build of a small arms training building. I was also appointed to the White House Communications Agency as the Carpentry Shop Manager, where I redesigned the Vice Presidential Podium, lead the design and installation of the new Pentagon briefing room, created Standard Operating Procedures for all fabrication shop assets, and implemented a plan for shop members to enroll in the Navy’s medical surveillance program.<\/p>\n
\nOutside of work I like to golf in the summer and snowboard in the winter, and last year I started coaching Pop Warner football as well. We bought a house last year that needs a lot of updating so I have been doing a lot of work on the house. We also are looking to raise animals on our 1 acre.<\/p>\n
\nThe passing of my father was an extremely important part of my life and career, it was a moment that made me stop and really consider what I value in life. After this is when I committed to getting out of the Navy to ensure I could be the best father and husband for my family.<\/p>\n
\nMy favorite part of my job is the new challenges, every job is different and has its new unique challenges that keep things interesting.<\/p>\n
\nLately I have been involved in the some of the preconstruction work for the Dermody Office Building, this is going to be a very challenging and rewarding project for whoever is a part of it once it gets started.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve always enjoyed working with my hands, in high school I took any shop class I could woodshop, welding, auto shop. I started going to TMCC for welding once I graduated high school and shortly after that is when I learned about the Navy Seabees and joined as a Builder where I go to do some basic rough carpentry, concrete, masonry and other great opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
