Accomplishments

I started as an entry level employee at Advance Tabco and very quickly worked up the ranks to supervision. I then took a few years to explore law enforcement where I also climbed the rank to sergeant (as well as being on the SWAT team and Bloodhound team). I then returned to Advance Tabco where I worked my way back up to surpass the supervisory role to a management position.
