Served 20 years honorably in the United States Marine Corps retiring in 2018. Thereafter, I earned education, certification, and experience in construction estimation and computer-aided drafting. Working for a local subcontractor in the aluminum and glazing industry, I gained experience and skill in drafting shop drawings and designs for commercial and government construction projects.
