I was a Contracts Administrator for Eaton Corp. Upon joining the US Navy, I served at NAS Moffett Field and NAS Alameda as a Logistics Specialist when those two bases were in operation.

In between my enlistments I served as a Government Contractor in Sunnyvale for Onizuka AFS as the Director of Finance and Human Resource Director.
