Bio
My first job was at Taco Bell in San Diego; where at the age of 17 I became the youngest store manager in the history of the company. I then entered the United States Air Force and served for almost 22 years, retiring at Little Rock AFB in Arkansas where I reside presently. During my military career I attended many leadership and business/process-improvement courses; as I was in charge of large teams working under me. For the last half of my career I served in superintendent positions in Operations, Logistics and Supply, and Training. During the course of my career I deployed seven times as well as many Secret Service missions as a bomb detector dog handler.
After my military career I have been involved with blockchain technology and namely the Harmony ONE blockchain where I operate a validator node, served on two core DAOs, perform the role of Reddit social media manager. I am very excited about the future of blockchain technology and understand it is the way forward to bring passive income to fruition for many people.

Cultural Self Assessment
Cultural | Values | Read More | Self Assessment | Personal Story | |
Empathy | Communicative | conversation turn taking | 9 | I absolutely love discussions and hearing otherโs points of view. I have no issue with allowing others to talk and do my very best to actually LISTEN and not just hear. I always try to walk away from all conversations with new informtion or an appreciation of a different view/stance. | |
disconfirm own beliefs | 8 | I structure my beliefs on personal experience, known recognized facts and personal conviction. That being said, I have no issue changing my beliefs as long as the introduced method of thinking is grounded on facts and othersโs experiences. I rarely changing my beliefs due to emotions/feelings because they are subject to change very fluidly. | |||
self-aware & articulate | 9 | I am very comfortable talking and relaying what is needed; furthermore I am aware of my own limitations and ensure I maneuver around them. I have spoken/insructed large groups of people many times and have a full grasp of the art of speaking to your intended audience at the relevant level. | |||
Personal | share a drink | 10 | I can sit down and have a drink with literally anyone. There is always a common ground people can find and relate to each other. My wife calls me a โmayorโ all the time! | ||
spend 10 hours daily together | 9 | 10 hours is nothing lol. I am used to spending much longer hours than that with people through my military experience and moderating Harmony Socials. | |||
nurture & mentor | 10 | As someone who led many troops in the military, I have exhaustive experience in nurturing people in all areas of life. I also was a young troop myself and learned how important proper mentors are to self-progression. | |||

Passion | Devoted | long-time craftsmanship | 9 | I understand the need for long term craftmanship of a passion project or employment. For 21 years I was passionate about my military career and constantly strove to hone my craft the entire time. Never stop improving and building your skill sets and character! | |
obsess over details | 8 | I am VERY detail-oriented, almost to a fault. Sometimes I take a little long with producing things because I am caught up in ensuring the details are perfect. | |||
hungry & foolish | 9 | Absolutely! New ideas seldom take off with cautious approaches; radical invention requires being crazy enough to just throw caution to wind sometimes and go for it! | |||

admit mistakes | 8 | Iโm a little stubborn according to my wife but have learned itโs best to admit failure than cover it up. Everyone is human and making mistakes is how we learn and improve. | |||
