    I am a military veteran. I served a total of 15 years, to include three combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. Although I have spent a significant amount of time training and serving in the military, I was also afforded the opportunity to attend school and earn a significant number of credits in the fields of study that I had an interest in. This included psychology, computer science & security, and homeland security. I realize that as of now, my resume does not provide a significant amount of "writing" experience, however I can assure that will change quickly. I would like any potential employers or individuals looking for someone to provide writing services, whether it be proofreading, creative writing, editing, or any other form of "entry-level" written tasks, that I am able and eager to provide you with a finished product that is accurate, complete and timely. My career has provided me with extensive time to read and write. It also has given me the opportunity to meet a wide range of people, visit a plethora of different places around the world, and a perspective to life and all that is in it, that not many people are fortunate enough to have. In many ways I could be considered as having a "hunger to learn" much like a child's, as I have a strong desire to attain the highest level of "knowledge" as I can. My primary objective in life, is to help as many people as I can. In order to reach that goal, I must learn all that I can so I am able to understand anyone who I am blessed to merge paths with. The more knowledge I have, and the more effectively I am able to empathize and communicate with them, the better I can help them. Writing is a form of communication that many have complimented me as having a "nack" for. I have had people ask me how they too can sharpen their writing skills a bit more, and I always tell them to READ MORE! I found, at least for myself, that reading as often as you are able to will provide you with a multitude of different perspectives and writing styles that will subconsciously build in your mind. It will only become natural over time for the ability to write with more conciseness, more accurate punctuation and a broader vocabulary. Of course in these modern times, the ability to type on a computer is essential as well. I attended my first "typing" class in elementary school, and have been typing regularly since, as well as "poke around" on computers long enough to learn a magnitude of understanding about computer systems. All this experience has provided me with the confidence to be able to finally begin to branch out into the "world of freelance writing," so I can take that confidence and allow it to grow. Finally, I would like to use my passion to help people in order to provide a service to my community, state and eventually the nation by creating an organization to help families. Throughout my career in the military and beyond, I have met so many different people and their families, and have learned by engaging intimately with them about their struggles. Because I have been able to experience all the things that I have, I believe that I have an extremely unbiased, empathetic perspective to life and the people in our communities who like the rest of us, struggle with social, political, and economic issues. There is so much beauty in the world, however this beauty is often clouded by stress and problems. I have observed that there are a large number of people who believe they are left to deal with their issues alone, but that is simply not the case. There is SOMEONE out there that is facing the same problems. There is NO shame is asking for and receiving help. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, that "help" isn't always what people need or are looking for. My goal is to create an organization that helps those people. An organization that is TRULY "for the people, by the people." I am a normal, average American. Yes, I have served my country. I have also needed help from my country. In other words, I have been on "both sides of the fence." I hope to use all my experiences to help others, and in order to do that I need to "reach out" into the world and fine tune my communication skills. I believe freelance writing, in any form, will allow me to get back out into the "working force" for a while, while I simultaneously create and grow my organization. To wrap up, I simply wish to leave possible employers with a feeling of confidence that allowing me to assist you in any way I can, will potentially help hundreds if not thousands of people in the near future. Some look at "freelance writing," especially "entry-level writing" as mundane. I view it, like I view everything: as an opportunity to help others, attain or advance useful skills, and above all else, become a better version of yourself to leave a positive mark on this world before our time is up. I'd like to leave here knowing I helped as many people as I could.
