How did you hear about Sunbelt Rentals? How did you find out about your position?
I was part of the Theros Equipment acquisition in February 2015.
Why Sunbelt Rentals over other companies?
Because my initial employment with Sunbelt Rentals was a result of a corporate acquisitionm ny employment decision is slightly different than others. I believe Sunbelt Rentals provides a lot of career growth and unique opportunities that cannot be found elsewhere. It is a dynamic company with a clear mission, ample resources for successful management, and multiple paths for career progression.
Brief summary of your military background & career path with Sunbelt (to date and what you plan for the future)
I had the honor to serve in the Army with the 82nd Airborne Division out of Fort Bragg, NC for 8 total years. During this time, I was deployed to Iraq 4 times while being assigned ot the 1/504th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Throughout my career with the 82nd Airborne, I did everything from kicking in doors as a grunt, to being a Fire Team Leader, and finally a Weapons Squad Leader. It was a significant, impactful part of my life that I am immensely humbled and proud to have completed.
My career path with Sunbelt is to continue providing excellent customer service and leadership that will eventually allow me to promote to a District Manager.
