Education

A.S., Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
B.S., Rutgers University

I was born and raised in New Jersey where I joined United States Army as a helicopter crewchief.  After my service, I started my secondary education at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University completing an A.S. degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology. From Embry Riddle, I transferred to Rutgers University School of Business in New Jersey where I achieved a B.S. degree in Marketing. I leveraged that degree into a successful career as an account manager for several New York advertising agencies. Before my move to Rapid City, I lived in Portland, Oregon where I held the position of Operations Manager with Kinder Morgan, Marine Terminal 4. Here I was involved in many capital improvement projects including roads, conveyor towers, dock repairs and wastewater mitigation systems.  Now, as an Equipment and Instrumentation Repair Technician at SDSMT, I can enjoy my passion for hands-on technical work while helping to cultivate today’s brightest young minds.
