Where did you serve and what did you do?

I served 28 years in the United States Navy, retiring as a CTRCS(AW)/E-8. I served aboard ships, assigned to Army MI BN, Marine RADBN, and special operations forward as a specialed lead cryptologist and as the Assistant Cryptologic Resource Coordinator aboard forward deployed Aircraft Carriers.

How are you Still Serving?

I serve as a volunteer Service Officer at a Veteran Organization local Post, dedicated to serving those who have served. I ensure that every veteran I encounter is aware of the benefits, resources, and support available to them. When assistance is needed, whether filing a VA claim or locating resources for a veteran or their family member I make myself available. I have both a passion and a proven ability to identify the appropriate resources and guide veterans through unfamiliar or uncertain situations, helping to reduce confusion and ease the path forward.

Why do you do it?

I believe in serving those who served.
