My Certifications |
|
|
In my youth, I
attended scouts and learned all the skills taught at that time and achieved
all of merit badges available including the arrow of light. I excelled in
mathematics giving me a strong foundation for my technical skills as I grew
older. I simultaneously developed my artistic skills; as my mother is an
art specialist and taught for thirty years in public schools. |
|
|
I volunteered to
teach swimming lessons and I had passed all the requirements (except for
age) to become a certified lifeguard by age eleven. |
|
|
I raised myself
in restaurants completely on my own by the age of fifteen. I became familiar
with all aspects of running restaurants; including inventory, quality control,
scheduling, employee management, gross receipts, operating costs, vendor
relations, menu presentations, plate presentations, and was a kitchen manager
by the age of eighteen. |
|
|
While furthering
my skills in the restaurant industry, I completed my high school education,
I joined the US Army Reserves where I was selected as the honor soldier
of my company during basic training. I had been promoted first to a squad
leader position and then to the position of the company commander. I had
the privilege of assisting in the training of over fifty men and was given
a promotion from grade E-1 to E-2. During this time in between completing
high school, joining the reserves and kitchen management, I received a congressional
nomination to West Point Military Academy from Congressman Timothy Wirth. |
|
|
I chose the path
of a medical
laboratory specialist and attended the Academy of Health Sciences at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I studied hematology, immuno-hematology, microbiology,
serology, parisitology, bacteriology, urinalysis, and clinical chemistry;
eighteen semester
hours with a 3.94 GPA. |
|
|
I enjoyed the straightforward
directives and discipline of the military and so decided to enlist in the
US Navy. I scored very well on the ASVAB and the follow-up test and so was
given my choice of specialties. I chose the field of nuclear electronics
technology frankly because the science interested me but more so the bonuses
and pay in both the civilian and military worlds. |
|
|
I received a letter
of commendation from the base commander fro completing
Basic Electricity and Electronics school in two weeks with a 98.5%
GPA (average time for completion of this self-paced course was six months).
During my continued Education and Training in Advanced Electronics and Communications
Technology, I
received one of only two nominations from the Secretary of Defense to attend
Annapolis Military Academy. Despite numerous awards, commendations and
meritorious recommendations and promotions, I received a bad conduct discharge
from the Navy due to an ongoing drug addiction to marijuana. |
|
|
The struggle to
find meaning in my work, education and overall existence led me into psychological
and spiritual studies including the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran, the Qabalah,
the Tarot, EST, Yoga, forms of martial arts and finally the Holy Bible.
After my discharge, I continued to seek satisfaction in financial success.
By the age of twenty-two I had achieved dramatic feats of strength, had
dabbled in multiple careers, had studied the world's faiths and spiritual
practices, had experimented with drugs and the occult, and had gained respect
and credentials only a few ever obtain. Dissatisfied with the conclusion
modern secularists had brought to me with their godless philosophy, I strove
to find purpose and meaning in existence. I had always sought to excel in
an honorable way, despite my failings but my problem with drug addiction
was a barrier to achieving my goals. |
|
|
The circumstances
surrounding my near death experience brought me to a profound and sure knowledge
that Jesus Christ really is alive and Lord and Savior of all mankind. By
the awesome power of God Almighty I was set free from drug addiction! I
spent my years following my dramatic experience in meeting the Living Lord
Jesus Christ in intense Biblical
studies. My conversion
to Christianity was the most joyous event that has occurred in my life
and my relationship with God and Jesus Christ has only grown over time.
I also continued my education, wrote books and poetry,
became a certified
printing press operator, certified
automotive tech, taught
adult basic education, and keep current with news through extensive
reading. |

|
I received my ordination
as a Christian minister in 1994, helped found a church in Phoenix, Arizona
and started a corporation called Alpha Omega Moving Systems. In the five
years the corporation was under my micromanagement, I never had an insurance
claim for damages. I was published
in Who's Who of Entrepreneurs. My business made profit the first year
and every year profits increased. I trained my foreman so well that he purchased
the company from me when I relocated to North Idaho. |
|
|
While in North
Idaho, I delved into a growing interest of mine and went to work selling
privately owned property. In the second year I was leading sales when I
decided to go into real estate full time. As a licensed agent in Idaho,
I thoroughly enjoy helping others find the land and homes their looking
for. Seeking to publish my findings on the purpose of life and other spiritual
topics and seeking to be of better service to my real estate clients, I
obtained my degree and certification as an Internet
Webmaster Master Designer. The information highway is ideal for an individual
like myself who loves to research and share the best of what I've learned.
My wide range of experiences, helps me to understand people and be especially
kind and thoughtful in listening to them and helping them achieve their
goals. This makes me an ideal agent and web architect because I can draw
upon a lifetime and vast resources to help relate to and put myself in my
client's shoes in order to best assist them with their endeavors. |
