A Little Bit About Me
I believe that we live in the greatest nation in the World, The United States of America! My different career paths throughout life are a testament to the patriotism and dedication I have for this great nation. This country is my 'why' behind doing what I do as a career. I do believe small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I am passionate about serving small businesses as a way of continuing to serve my country.
Out of high school, I figured the most patriotic way to support my country was to fight for it. I enlisted in the United States Army, and I have done so much with the Army. I have been Enlisted in Military Intelligence, and I was also a Commissioned Officer as an Infantry Officer. I have been to Afghanistan and Germany. I have even parachuted out of airplanes, and fast-roped out of helicopters. I even got to do a little bit of training with Special Forces! It has been a blast!
I was really missing the home life, and I also wanted a job that was less stressful, which lets me be home every day, and still serve my country in a big way. I became an over-the-road truck driver, and eventually a local truck driver! I took part in keeping America moving, while I got to explore America at the same time! However I did get tired of the long hours on the road, I figured that instead of driving products around for big name corporations like Amazon, Food City, and Target, I should see what I could do for the smaller businesses that really help our economy!
I looked into becoming a Digital Marketing and Advertising Agent, and I plan on staying with this for a while! I believe that this is the best job to balance the home and work life, and also provides services to small businesses, which I'm all about, and the best part is that I get to meet and know the small business owners, who are the real players running this great economy. I plan on doing this for a long time because of my passion and commitment to helping small businesses get their name out there in the digital world!
