Education

Bachelors in Business Administration and Management, General from University of Maryland-University College

Masters in Business Administration and Management, General from Troy University

Career Experience

I am a combat-wounded veteran and a retired Air Force chief master sergeant. I felt extremely proud to serve my country as an American airman. As a public affairs professional, I was stationed in Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Washington D.C., honing my communication skills in a myriad of situations. Through persistence and dedication, meeting educational goals is possible.

I Love Tutoring Because

I get to help people learn about important life-skills like speaking and writing. The ability to communicate clearly is so important! I like working with students at all levels including those who are not native English speakers. I especially love helping military members and their families. As a father of four "military brats," it is especially heartwarming to be able to help their kids.

Other Interests

Birdwatching, College football, Cooking, Drinking Coffee, Genealogy, Singing

Respectfully, the first part of the feedback on my thesis is unconstructive. An argumentative paper is the writer's opinion. It is their voice and no one else's. It does not have to be factual. It has to be arguable. I believe that has been accomplished.
