I was a captain in the US Army. I served all over as I was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, deployed with 1st ID (Infantry Division) to Afghanistan, then deployed again to Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division. I went to Qatar a few times for some conferences and then my last duty station was Fort Shafter, Hawaii. I learned a great deal from my travels, and each country has a different point of view. Being able to see things from different perspectives is something you know, but never fully understand until you experience it firsthand.
I chose NCC for the ability to enhance my IT career with a cybersecurity certification, which is well sought after in the IT field. This is my first semester at the College. I don’t think people fully realize the utility of an associate’s degree. I am going for another certification after I already received my college degree from Hofstra University and then my master’s degree from LIU at CW Post. Learning never ends. There’s always room for improvement.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that Nassau Community College has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.
