Summary

An outgoing and confident person who is driven by the willingness to succeed and the determination to surpass goals is who I have always been. Constantly putting myself through my paces with mental and physical challenges. During my childhood, I was always involved in sports and keeping myself in good condition, which saw me achieve success from an early age. When I left school at the age of 16, I joined the British Army Infantry passing a 49-week training course. During this time, I was forced to learn a variety of new skills. Including experience in leadership and communication skills. I can organize myself, and a team effectively and with confidence. Out of 170 recruits, I was selected for the company boxing team, winning an intercompany boxing event. I also took part in numerous cross-country and soccer competitions. Since being in the USA, i have pushed myself into new jobs from salesman, to learning how to repair car exteriors. This proves my ability to learn quickly, adapt, lead confidently and to work effectively as a member of a team. I joined the Army National Guard in order to honorably serve this nation, which has given me the opportunity to provide a better life for me and my family. I used this opportunity to jump into another challenge of learning the Plumbing trade, which i intend to continue on with in the civilian world, to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible in order to do more complex, demanding work and consistently build upon my skills. I left basic training in April 2025, with an Army Achievement Medal after being awarded Distinguished Honor Graduate out of 257 trainees. I have a passion and drive to work above and beyond expectation with the goal of constantly improving. My next ambitions include learning Spanish, gaining my Journeyman Plumbing License and Real Estate Investment.
