In 2013, I joined the U.S. Air Force as a Medic, dedicating the past 9 years to serving alongside Army, Marine, and foreign military units.
My career has encompassed a variety of roles, including Medic, Instructor, and Team Leader.
One of my most notable experiences was deploying to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, in 2019. During this deployment, I played a critical role in ground patient transport, base security, and aeromedical evacuations, ensuring seamless coordination of medical care in a high-stakes environment.
In 2024, I founded a Florida registered 501(c)(3) non profit organization.

Success on the battlefield is dependent upon the ability of Airmen to execute their duties at an optimum level. Units from different specialties lean on each other’s experience and expertise to be able to execute missions with precision.
Aeromedical Staging and Critical Care Transport (ASTS):
I am proficient in establishing and operating Aeromedical Staging Facilities (ASTF) to facilitate patient preparation for the next level of care. My experience includes developing and supporting Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATTs) to provide continuous monitoring and life-saving care for critically ill or injured patients. In a wartime environment, I have contributed to contingency aeromedical staging operations, deploying qualified teams and essential equipment in support of Air Mobility Command missions.
Creating a fully operational staging facility in a deployed environment requires precise planning, resource management, and tactical expertise. I have led the setup of tactical all-weather tent systems capable of housing 30 personnel each, ensuring shelter and operational readiness in diverse climates. This includes establishing a complete patient triage center for immediate medical assessment and a fully equipped surgical center for life-saving procedures.
I also worked in planning and deployment of aeromedical staging platforms for seamless patient transfers and coordinated a Tactical Operations Center (TOC) for mission command and communication. Supporting these operations involved setting up dedicated medical supply tents and implementing logistical systems to maintain continuous inventory control, medical resupply, and operational sustainability. My experience in creating such facilities ensured that critical care capabilities were ready to support mission success in austere and combat environments.
As a certified TCCC instructor, I have trained military personnel in life-saving combat medical techniques, emphasizing trauma management under fire, tactical field care, and casualty evacuation. My instructional approach focuses on building confidence and medical proficiency, ensuring operational readiness and mission success in combat environments.
During my military career, I have had the privilege of teaching battlefield medicine to a diverse range of service members, including foreign nationals, U.S. Marines, and Army personnel. My instruction focused on lifesaving techniques such as Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), emphasizing trauma management under fire, tactical field care, and casualty evacuation. I tailored training sessions to meet the unique operational requirements of each unit while fostering a collaborative learning environment.
By integrating real-world scenarios, hands-on practice, and combat-proven medical protocols, I ensured that every student gained the skills and confidence needed to provide critical care in austere and high-pressure environments. These experiences not only strengthened my instructional abilities but also reinforced the value of joint-force cooperation in achieving mission success.
