Calm within the storm | MSSA Participant | Intense passion to succeed | Aspiring Azure Network Administrator | Connect with me @Linkedin
USMC Veteran. I have a competitive fire to be great at what I do in all phases of life. I find a way to master the basics and build on those to become a force in proficiency. Professionally I want to be an Azure Networking Administrator. Family and finding a way to give back to others are two of my most intense motivators. Clear communication, a team environment, and helping to empower others along the way are things I am looking for in an employer.
