Activities and Employment History:

Over the last four years I've worked in the Marine Corps, the first two years spent on shift at 1st Marine Divisions Network Operations center (DNOC), supporting the western seaboard in multiple missions supplying Marine Corps leaders with tactical communications used for conducting live fire exercises. After two years I was promoted to a network administrator position where I specifically trouble shot issues across the routed network and acted as 1st tier help desk support for users. Following another promotion on last year in the Marine Corps I fully designed and implemented large scale tactical networks including over 100 routers and 250 switches to be maintained in the Mojave Desert for live artillery exercises. I constantly strive to learn as much as I can to improve team and network efficiency. I remain highly self-motivated and also ready to face the any challenge.
