Project Manager/Leadership Coach

West
US Navy, O-5

I retired in October 2010 and was working at the Port of Seattle temporarily while I sought more suitable employment. While there, a fellow Navy veteran encouraged me to contact Orion. Previously, I served in the US Navy for 21 years and was initially trained as a helicopter pilot but served in many roles throughout the aviation community. My military background gave me a broad understanding and familiarity with leadership, management, and the technical skills required to work in the aerospace industry.

My Orion recruiter was JP Sniffen. JP did an outstanding job of connecting me with several opportunities. Additionally, he gave me advice on how to prepare and respond to interviewer questions. Dave Bakkeby also did great work in preparing me for interviews with my eventual employer. All staff members of Orion were helpful and very good at instructing candidates. Thanks to JP and Dave, I have been hired by RLG international as a Project Manager/Leadership Coach and will be consulting at Boeing on the 747-8 program. Orion is the only military recruiting firm I will recommend!
