My History: In 1995 I joined the U.S military and left home (BelAir, MD) and immediately strived for excellence. I surpassed the "regular" military positions and became part of the elite SEAL Teams counterpart SBT Teams. Special Operations was a dream come true and I saw the world, the bad, and the good. In 1999 after serving my country in the best way i could I was hired by Seaworld San Diego as a Diver and started my interaction with exotic animals. One year later I was recruited as as civilian to work once again for the Gov. as a contractor based on my security clearance. I worked specifically with the U.S. Navy Dolphin Program using all of my scuba diving experience to become a Dolphin trainer/ Professional Diver. We trained dolphins to complete various tasks to ensure our military's safety while never compromising the Dolphins safety. This was called "Very Shallow Water Mine Countermeasures"and "Anti swimmer detection" AKA "No Frogman Escapes". And yes, my animals were used in the war. 7 Years later I was hired with the LAFD. The training was tough but my special operations training helped. Being a Firefighter in one of the busiest cities in the nation has brought me much joy as well as sorrow.
