Short company description:

I am coming onto the show to represent myself. I have just completed a Drone piloting course to help prepare me for my part 107 certification which will allow me to legally be hired out to local organizations as a photographer or inspector through the use of a drone. As a world history teacher I am responsible for teaching roughly 150 students specific state aligned standards and curriculum. As a curriculum creator I aligned specific state standardized content and created lessons which combine the standards with activities and course work which will help the students develop a deeper understanding of content. This is free for all teachers who wish to use it, you can access these lessons through CPALMS. As a memeber of the FEA I had the privilege to meet Representative Renner of the Florida house, and we spoke about some of the topics which would help making teaching easier in the classroom. As an intern for Brandon Wegner, with Redding Software, in cooperation with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, my skills have grown and I have learned how to be what is called a full stack developer where I can create websites and databases along with app integration for businesses. As a soldier in the US army I was a Military Police Officer, whose responsibilities included all the typical duties of a police officer, but I was also apart of the initial invasion into Iraq where I was apart of President Bushes security detail, I was a gunner for the 2nd Platoon Vikings Charlie Team, where we completed over 200 combat operations, and we had to establish a working police force for Baghdad and surrounding areas. I have been chosen to be apart of a special scuba diving training opportunity which is provided by Warfighter Scuba, an amazing organization, once my spot comes up.

How do you define success?

I define success by not only learning and growing one’s skills in what ever career they pursue, but to also be a person who is willing to help those who come to you to seek your expertise, experience and advice.

I got started by not being the best at what I do, there are better teachers out there, but to best that I can do. What’s one thing we should know that makes your company unique?: I seek to grow my skills and to learn all I can.
