Strengths
I know security work and enjoy interacting with people. I strongly believe the best intervention is
to spot potential problems before they become significant and my ability to develop rapport with
people has greatly helped me in past security positions.
My background is varied and that, too, becomes a strength because I have needed to competently
interact with a wide variety of people under varied circumstances. I have completed two oversea
tours with the Army National Guard and continue to serve part-time in the National Guard.
Serving with the Military has provided me countless opportunities to demonstrate my
communication, cooperation, and of course security skills. As a Sergeant, I was responsible for
every aspect of my squad’s well-being and job performance and had to understand each of my
reports. Prior to my military service, I had over 20 years of combined work-experience. I had
apprenticed in many of the construction fields, including demolition. While working in the food
industry I was responsible for overseeing kitchen management and delivery teams and
interacting with clients. My formal education is in art and design, and my focus has been to
create what I can envision. In the area of security, this applies to envisioning a safe outcome for
any intervention, then executing in such a manner that the intervention is successful, or, better, is
not needed.
I believe my varied background makes me a strong candidate for the security position at
