38-year-old Air Force veteran taking the plunge and finally starting my own company. I have worked both blue- and white-collar jobs since I was 14 in industries ranging from residential construction to managing national distribution networks for US based manufacturers.

I recently relocated my family to Florida following the events of Hurricane Ian to manage a Disaster Response operation that involved utilizing cranes, barges, and helicopters to remove various types of debris post-storm. Immediately following the completion of my 14-month operation which involved the recovery and return / disposal of over 400 boats, my employer decided to axe me versus paying what we agreed. Lesson learned.

I have always excelled at whatever my “job” is. If I don’t know how to do something, I figure it out through independent research and individual testing…but I failed high school chemistry, so I’m certain this community will be a tremendous resource for my business.

I will make this work.
