Summary

I am an experienced professional with a diverse background spanning law enforcement, logistics management, transportation, and industrial fabrication. I served as a Deputy Sheriff with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, developing strong skills in public safety, critical decision-making, and community engagement. As the Owner and Operator of DA Logistics and Transportation, LLC, I successfully managed business operations and oversaw a team of six truck drivers, ensuring efficient route planning, compliance, and high-level customer service. Prior to that, I worked as a driver for UPS, gaining valuable experience in time-sensitive delivery operations and logistics coordination. My foundation in hands-on industrial work began as a Fabricator with Distribution International, where I learned the importance of precision, safety, and teamwork. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated leadership, reliability, and the ability to adapt across multiple demanding industries.

I would love to join the Intralox team as an Entry-Level CNC Machinist. With hands-on experience in fabrication, logistics, and operations management, I am eager to bring my work ethic, mechanical aptitude, and desire to grow in the machining field to your organization. Intralox’s reputation for innovation and employee development makes it an ideal place for me to build a long-term career, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the team.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can be an asset to Intralox.
