About Eric Burleson

The world is full of factors beyond our control; the cost of raw materials, globalization and government regulation, death, and taxes are just a few of those that can affect our lives and business But there are a few things that are always in our control: how we work with each other, how we invest in our teams, how fast we can take new information and turn it into something we take to market. Nothing worth having comes easily, but that doesn\'t mean you can\'t figure out how to get out of your own way. About me: Army SOF Veteran with Tech, Entrepreneurship, Product Management, Data Science, and Business Development Experience. Veteran transition advocate and specialist I want to work with very smart people to do what others say is impossible. I want to work on something of immense social value, that can raise the bar of aggregate living experiences a few notches. I am not afraid of discomfort, adversity, or complexity. StrengthsFinder Top Five Strengths: 1) Strategic 2) Achiever 3) Intellection 4) Futuristic 5) Relator I worked in the Army Special Forces from 2007 to 2013. I learned a great deal about working with people from other countries, training, analysis, and leadership. I had the great honor and privilege of working with some pretty incredible warriors and leaders. I\'m thankful for all of my experiences, good and bad, because they all taught me a great deal about how I want to lead and what I want to do with my life. I want to work in a positive environment where there are high standards for behavior and performance. I\'m looking forward to collaborating a team where there is a high level of integrity, mutual respect, and collaboration on everyone\'s success. I want to pass my enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge on to others, and execute with all my might. Bring it, world, but come committed. It\'s gonna take a lot to bring me and mine down.
