- I was forward deployed on behalf of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to Haiti to lead a DART (Disaster Assessment and Recovery Team) following 3 hurricanes that obliterated the island in 2009
- I was assigned to Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (OEF deployment to Djibouti) from 8/11 through 2/13. Led all of the construction and HA projects in East Africa.
The HEROES program at Blattner can be a great support mechanism for Veterans, whether it be an onboarding buddy or someone to reach out to when things are tough – personal or professional. Likewise, it can be an educational conduit for those that don’t have direct military experience and how the two worlds really do intersect and interact.
The HEROES program can go a long way in helping leaders and managers recognize the value of military experience.

I was born in Brainerd; MN and I grew up in Kimball. I enlisted in 2015 and EAS’d 2020 as a Sergeant(E-5). Began my time as a 2821 Technical Controller and ended up as an 0631 Network Administrator. I was stationed in Okinawa Japan for 3 years and deployed to the Philippines for 6 months. The MARSOC unit captured one of the last ISIS flags in the Philippines while I was deployed there. I never really considered military growing up, but I wanted to challenge myself and get out of the Midwest. So, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to accomplish both. I enjoyed the education and training aspect of the USMC and all the great Devil Dogs I met while active duty. It was an amazing experience; it really opened my eyes to all the different people around the country and even around the world.
