Sergeant First Class (retired) U.S. Army focusing on Helicopter Repair Supervision, Aviation Safety, and OSHA compliance.

Flexibility and thinking outside the box.

If you didn’t work at Frontline, what would your dream job be?

After working for 20 years in the U.S. Army, I can honestly say I do not know, only that is has to be something that provides a mental challenge.

I actually love to cook, and to bake.
