After leaving the Marine Corps, I began persuing a career in the sales industry. After working my way up to a sales manager for a large corporation, I was head hunted by a big insurance brokerage and worked my way up to Senior Account Executive. After a decade in sales, I decided to make a switch and go back to school. I am currently enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada, working towards my Bachelors of Science with my main focus and end goal being Civil Engineering.
