As an Army veteran Tim Harmon will discuss his experiences in both active duty and National Guard, and the struggle to recognize and apply skills developed during his service and communicating and leveraging in the civilian sector.  Tim will also discuss fostering out of the box thinking to help drive a parallel vision to service-related characteristics and attributes to private sector applications, accompanied by resources and paths for careers in reliability and maintenance.  Lastly Tim will speak to his activities for helping veterans with PTSD, and his passion for helping transitioning military personnel. Tim is an active supporter of several veteran outreach programs, H.O.O.V.E.S for example, and an avid supporter of the Mobius Veteran Connect podcast.
