What I'm looking for

I seek a Logistics Coordinator role where I can apply military logistics expertise and CDL-A experience to improve routing, compliance, and operational efficiency in a collaborative, safety-focused environment.

I am a logistics and transportation professional with over 15 years of combined experience in supply chain coordination, freight operations, and CDL-A driving, including a decade of military embarkation logistics in the U.S. Marine Corps.

I have managed transportation planning, resource allocation, and personnel training for multi-million-dollar operations, coordinated shipments across commercial and military environments, and consistently ensured safety and regulatory compliance while optimizing routes and delivery performance.

I bring strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills, a proven record of improving operational efficiency, and a commitment to transitioning into a Logistics Coordinator role to leverage my military logistics expertise and commercial transportation knowledge.
