About

Professionally, I am a United States Navy veteran, a retired fireman of 23 years, and a current safety coordinator for a technology school.
I am responsible for the City of OKC safety training from office personnel throughout the field. In my first year as the safety coordinator, my division produced more student contact hours than in previous years.
This year, I am proud to announce that my division will match those numbers this month, leaving us with a third of the year to educate. I am a Safety Director, Certified Safety Manager, and subject matter expert in 19 specialties recognized by the National Association of Safety Professionals. I am in the process of completing the Certified Safety and Health Official in the general industry and construction industry.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Safety Director, Thank you for the opportunity to speak about the relevance of my achievements to date with the reflection of my life goals. Ultimately, I would describe my life goals concerning my current career. My first goal for my entire life through many different jobs was to stop or prevent as much suffering as possible from other people in the United States of America.
I have sworn an Oath to protect this country and the citizens of this nation, and I desire to leave this world better than it is currently for the new generations of all nations.
My unique career paths have taught me about the transportation industry, military, fire service, hospital care, surgical care, and education industry. I pride myself on reaching the top of my career fields, making a difference, and remaining engaged in whatever field I serve.
The different fields of experience provide me with first-hand knowledge of the needs of other individuals concerning their areas of work or study. This knowledge allows me to develop safety programs with attention to specific detail that only a person who has experienced that situation would know. I like going to work every day, and I love
