Winner of Apprentice TV Show looking to hire his own Apprentice

My time at West Point and in the Army reinforced those principles and I’m looking forward to Hire A Hero helping me connect with someone who shares those values.”
After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Kelly served as a military intelligence officer in the U.S. Army, while also successfully completing both Airborne and Ranger training.

They protected the American dream for all of us and deserve to fully participate in its rewards.”
