I served my country with honor in the United States Army for five years. Upon reaching a decision point that was best for me and my family, I separated after five years and began a three-year career in the United States Army National Guard. Simultaneously, I took the first job that was offered to me, and it just happened to be as a security officer in a major community hospital. Part of my duties as a security officer were to help people with mental health challenges and addictions from a safety and security standpoint, while my duties in the National Guard as a chaplain's assistant were to exemplify empathy and compassion.
