Summary
US Army Veteran of 6 years who worked as a Food Service Specialist and Team Leader while serving my country. Spent the various years in entry level jobs to include warehousing, and customer service. However, I've always held a strong interest in the Information Technology industry and decided it was time to pursue a career in IT. I'm currently attending ACI Learning to obtain my ITIL Foundations cert, Comptia A+1001, 1002, and Comptia Network+. I have received 40 hours of training in ITIL Foundations, Comptia A+1001, and 1002. My goal is to earn an entry-level it job and work my way up to becoming a Systems or Network administrator. Companies I would love to work for are Microsoft, Google, and Netflix.
