Hello,

I am looking to enter the network security realm in the San Diego, California area; and while I don't have tremendous experience in the area, I do have over six years of extensive LAN/WAN experience and an active Top Secret DOD clearance along with an immense desire to learn. I was in the U.S. Navy for six and a half years where I advanced rapidly at each promotion opportunity and was awarded numerous accolades for my knowledge, project management, and professionalism. I'm currently enhancing my professional development by working towards my CCNP and CCSP. I'm open for any offers and am very reasonable, so I'm confident in finding a mutually beneficial agreement. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Justin Bales
