About Cory Galego

An ambitious young professional from Beaverton, OR with a unique story, and driven to make a positive impact on the community while adding a competitive advantage to a business through supply chain management. I was an active-duty sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, as an aircraft loadmaster, and am currently pursuing my degree in Global Supply Chain Management full-time at Portland State University. When I wasn\'t flying and performing loadmaster duties I had various ground duties including mission generation supervisor, security manager, scheduling director, and safety program manager. As I progress, searching for opportunities to grow and learn is a key priority for me. My time as a service member taught me the incredible value of true leadership, teamwork, and selfless service. I am excited to continue applying these values as a proud veteran. During my free time I enjoy making meaningful connections, traveling, working on/riding my motorcycle, and participating in as many sports and/or outdoor activities as I can.
