La Vista, Nebraska, United States
After 28 years in various positions (Active Duty, Contractor) within Security/Law Enforcement roles; if there is one thing that would define me... it would be resilient. Lots of bumps along my career path from E-3 to E-8. What I took gained through that expierence (although not recommened) is hard work and dedication will get you through your most difficult times. I still move forward with a purpose and the want to be the best version of myslef, regardless of what those around me are doing. I do not work hard for shiny awards or recognition. I do it so people have someone to go to when they need assistance or guidanance. I understand I do not know everything that pertains to my position; however I sure know where to look! The other thing that has not changed over the years is my demeaner. I demand the best from myself and I demand the best of those whom I work for and witth. I cannot settle with being mediocre. Most would probably say i was a jerk when they first met me and then most would also say that opinion changed once they understood the reason behind it. Push yourself and push others to be there best.
