After bootcamp he immediately entered the Air Force Special Warfare Combat Control (CCT) Pipeline and Selection Course which took just over two years to complete. While stationed at various locations around the world he quickly achieved his Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) qualification, and later his JTAC Instructor rating.

In addition to maintaining primary duties as a CCT he was also the Designated Point Man for his troop, a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Weapons and Tactics, as well as Small Arms and CQB Instructor. While he was not performing military duties he continued serving overseas as a defense contractor until 2017. During that time, he put in another half dozen deployments in support of multiple Special Operations Joint Task Forces around the globe.

He currently holds an active Certified Firearms Instructor (CFI) License LIC# 4363 and Private Patrol Officer (PPO) LIC# 4514 for the state of Nevada.
