What Do You Do?
Loss prevention analysis, monitoring internal and external theft, safety operations.
What’s the coolest thing about your job?
Internal apprehension – they are stealing from our company and basically taking from the people who give us our paycheck.
Biggest challenge?
Culture shock. When you leave the military and come into the civilian world, it is a huge change. In the military, the world is pretty much controlled for you where here, the initiative is up to you.
Any funny stories?
I tried to chase down our regional operational manager during a 72-hour sale. It was 3 a.m. and he was picking up things as he walked through the store, and then tried to get into our office. I started running after him, but fortunately found out who he was before I apprehended him.
