Now working at Boeing in the Learning, Training and Development (LTD) Department.as a Instructional Systems Designer (ISD) contractor for the Yoh Company, I was serving as the Training Director of the Ship Repair Facilities, Umm Qasr, Iraq and immediately prior to my work at VSE Corp, I was the Senior Curriculum Instructional Developer / Sr. Technical Trainer Manager for Alion Science and Technology (Non-Lethal Weapons Division). I retired from the United States Navy with 20 years of service to his country in 2009. While I started my career in training while serving in the Navy, I had spent the last 5 years as a government contractor, developing training and teaching courses for the United States Military and that of the Military of Iraq. In my personal time, I teach OSHA 10 and 30 hour Safety/Fall Protection and HAZMAT/HAZCOM courses for Department of Labor. I am a First Aid/CPR/AED course instructor for the American Red Cross and Basic to Advance weapons skills trainer for the National Rife Association. For the past three years, I have volunteer many hours to helping the homeless in the Everett area (Lords Little Cooker) as well as volunteers with the club scouts of Pack 121 as an mentor.
