I served eight (8) years Active Duty in the U.S. Army as a Communications Security Specialist and Nuclear/Biological/Chemical (NBC) Specialist. I am a graduate of the U.S. Army’s Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC) and Basic Noncommissioned Officers Course (BNOC).During my tenure with TSA, I have developed a skillset for federal policies and procedures which has created opportunities for me to assist in providing guidance to Inspectors in the area of Security Compliance and Enforcement as it relates to terrorism against our nation’s transportation systems. I am a graduate of TSA\'s Mid-Level Leadership Development Program (MLDP) and TSA\'s Office of Security Operations (OSO) Mentor Program. I am certified to instruct New-Hire TSA Inspectors in the Basic Training Course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). I have attended FLETC in a training status, successfully completing the Fundamentals of Terrorism Training Program (FTTP), Introduction to Criminal Investigations Training Program (IBCITP), Physical Security Training Program (PSTP), Land Transportation Antiterrorism Training Program (LTATP), and Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Training Program (CISRTP).
