To secure a position that is as intellectually stimulating and professionally fulfilling as it is financially rewarding

Work history

Duluth Trading Company

(Aug, 2020-current)

In a work-from-home position, for the last 15 months I have taken inbound calls to place orders, replace orders, make refunds, and answer questions about our growing product line. Having empathy with the customer and extensive knowledge of our merchandise has been crucial.

( I spent the previous five years in the hospital and in rehabilitation for wounds incurred both in combat and a serious auto injury)

Waste Medic

(Jan, 2014-July, 2015)

Working unsupervised in a company truck, I managed a route of biohazard removal from rehabilitation and retirement homes in Middle Tennessee. Employment came to an end only due to previously mentioned auto accident.

Satellite Technician (Feb, 2006-Jan, 2013)

Working unsupervised as a private contractor I installed and repaired satellites for virtually every service provider throughout Middle Tennessee. Timeliness, attention to detail, and resourcefulness were critical in this position.

Jackson Academy

(Feb, 2004-Dec, 2005)

Was recruited and hired to create and implement the first-ever culturally sensitive treatment program for Native American Youth. The Four Winds Program was so successful the state of Oklahoma approached us and asked us to move our operations there and introduce our program to scores of facilities. I declined to relocate to Oklahoma, thus ending my tenure at this facility, although I'm very proud of what we created out of the box, a program requested by no less than 31 tribes.

American Indian Education Center of Cleveland,Ohio

(June, 2003-June 2004)

Designed and implemented the only anti-tobacco program in the country funded by the tobacco settlement and targeting the Native American community. Left this position when grant funding ended.

Dish Network

(Feb, 2002-May, 2003)

Took inbound calls to offer programming packages, resolve quality issues, and answer questions about an extensive product line requiring both an intranet and the internet.

Independent Insurance Agent

(May, 1999-Dec, 2002)

Through cold calling and lead generation program, offered a variety of Life Insurance and investment products, particularly to homeowners. I became licensed and a total of 5 States and had as many as seven different agents working for me at various times. Being able to fulfill people's needs along with good sales and closing techniques were crucial.

United States Army

(Jan, 1989-April, 1999)

As a member of the elite 82nd Airborne Division, I participated in combat operations on three continents. I mastered over 300 different tasks and a wide array of weapon systems. As I increased in rank to becoming a non-commissioned officer I was responsible for the maintenance of these weapons systems, as well as communication systems and vehicles. Ultimately I was responsible for millions of dollars in equipment and maintaining the combat readiness of these systems and the soldiers in my command. Eventually due to my combat experiences I was attached to Special Operations Command and participating in special warfare missions. I was awarded the expert infantry badge, the combat infantry badge, 3 Army Achievement medals, two Army Commendation medals, the Panama Invasion metal with spearhead, the Southwest Asia service medal, combat jump wings, and the good conduct medal. I suffered wounds in Panama during operation Just Cause.
