“I deal with discouragement by reminding myself of characteristics like my strong sense of self-motivation, my passion for the things that I do in my life, and knowing who I am fighting for.”
Chief Operating Officer
I currently work for PKL Services Inc. as a Chief Operating Officer doing international military business contracts.
At 4:45, I wake up, I am usually out the door at 6, I get to work about 6:30 and we usually try to close the doors at 3:30. I usually leave the office around 3:30, unless I really want to play golf… then I leave at 3. And usually, I’m still doing emails because we have employees in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Singapore, all over the world and it’s a different time of day where they are. I usually start doing emails at around 4:45 and I’ll stop doing emails around 10 o'clock at night.
Here's the first step for everyone
I recommend to immerse yourself with people who are doing what you want to do and do whatever those professionals are doing. Network! Network! Network!
"I suffered a head injury while in active duty for USMC. The doctors told me that I would never be able to fly again, but, with determination, not too long after, I was the first person to fly after having a head injury."
They didn't. First of, I am the first and only member of my family to go to college, and when I was playing football at St. Paul High School colleges began to show interest in me. So, my coaches were the first to talk to me about college.
I'm an aviation junkie. I still love going to air shows and taking my grandkids to the Chino Air Museums and any chance that I get to work with people and with aircraft. In my company we work with everything from F-15's, F-18s, etc.
I was a lieutenant of the United States Marine Corp., making around $800 a month.
My father, without a doubt. He is a man who saw a better life for his family in the United States and made no hesitation to take the risk to immigrate. With only $120 cash and two suitcases my father was able to make it work for my family and I.
