United States Navy

Machinery Repairman — Honorable Discharge

Combat Veteran — Shipboard Operations — Shore Installation Support

Served in the United States Navy with an honorable discharge, including combat deployment to a theater of war. Operated aboard a commissioned USS warship, maintaining and repairing critical mechanical and engineering systems under operational conditions at sea.


Assigned to the United States Naval Academy Machine Shop, fabricating precision components for institutional and training systems. Operated mills, lathes, surface grinders, shapers, and drill presses to engineering tolerances. Performed quality inspection and verification on manufactured parts to military specification.


Developed a deep foundation in mechanical engineering discipline, precision fabrication, quality assurance, and performing under pressure — skills that translate directly to designing infrastructure systems that must not fail.
