What is your military experience?
I joined the Marines as an infantryman
immediately following high school graduation
in 2001. I completed an honorable enlistment
with the Marines after two assignments and
a deployment to Fallujah, Iraq. After a brief
period as a civilian, I made the choice to go back
in the military and found myself joining the
Army in 2006. While in the Army I served as an
Infantryman, and not long after I had changed my
career path to counterintelligence and became a
Warrant Officer.
How has your military training helped with
running a business?
I believe my military experience training helped
me leverage my organizational skills in team
building. Process optimization and project
management were very important to my success.
I also attribute the resiliency skills I learned in
the military a key factor in helping me run my
business.
What made you decide to buy a franchise?
When I transitioned from the military, I did not
feel the desire to continue with my past career
path. I saw it as an opportunity to reinvent myself
completely, and franchising seemed like the right
fit for me because I liked the fact that there were
systems in place already with a franchise, and
I could start my business with it already being
on third base, versus starting out on the bench.
Overall, I wanted what I think most people want
out of a franchise—control of my career and
lifestyle, a healthy income, and the ability to
grow my wealth.
