Newport News Shipbuilding’s We Are Shipbuilders series spotlights shipbuilders from across the company.

“I was unable to make a career serving in the Army, which was a dream of mine, after being medically discharged. But this position has given me the opportunity to continue serving my country in a different – but just as important – capacity, and I am very thankful for that. Knowing that my contribution to the development of these ships and boats that not only house thousands of servicemen and women, but also enable those same servicemen and women to protect our country, makes me incredibly proud of my job.”
