Life & Career Milestones

My path in life took a while to figure out

  • 1.

    Right after I got out of high school, I joined the Navy. I've been with the Navy for 19 years.

  • 2.

    I was able to pretty much complete my associate's degree in business administration while serving.

  • 3.

    I was recalled back into active duty quite a bit, which made it hard to start a civilian career.

  • 4.

    In the past few years, I've started picking up momentum in getting to where I want to be.

  • 5.

    My former student recommended me to The KIT Group; it was amazing knowing I'd made an impact on him.

  • 6.

    It was amazing to be chosen and hired by a company that matched my work ethic and beliefs.

Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    Why did you pick a career involving firearms? They're dangerous.

  • How I responded:

    People and politicians have a really negative conception of firearms, so it's hard to kind of establish myself in the world and on social media without people talking down on my career. There's really no better way to say it: haters are gonna hate. So as long as you can laugh it off, and keep living by the mentality that today is a good day just because you woke up, you're going to keep learning and growing in a positive way.
