Bole I have lived in Atlantic Beach on Shell Street since 2005 after retiring from a successful Navy career. I have lived in 22 different locales and I've chosen to make Atlantic Beach my permeant home. To this day I'm involved with our Federal Government as a Defense Contractor but it's time to give back at the local level. I believe I have the skill set and the background to help Atlantic Beach move forward. My daughter graduated from Fletcher HS and my youngest attends school locally. In my 30-year career as a Navy Carrier pilot I've faced many challenges and leadership opportunities across the full spectrum of challenging environments. The one theme that I believed propelled my career was one of fairness to all people. Whether it was a Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy or a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay I believe my record shows a fair compassionate leader. Today I work for one of the largest non-profit Alaska Native Corporations in the United States out of my home in Atlantic Beach which gives me the opportunity to interact with major Federal Departments such as DOD and DHS. One of the skills I would hope to add to the Commission is my ability to interact on our city's behalf if needed with various governmental agencies. One of my former jobs was dealing with hurricane Katrina and the aftermath for the Navy. I was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal for the effort and I believe dealing with natural disasters may be a useful skill to have on the City Commission. I was lucky enough to get the Navy to send me to graduate school where I received a Master's in Political Science from Auburn University and a Master of Science in International Security Affairs from the Naval War College along with my degree from the Naval Academy. I don't know how that educational background will help me in the AB City Commission, but I do know it taught me one thing-To Listen. My company deals with multimillion-dollar contracts on a daily basis and I would say that I've learned a lot on the financial side of things and I'm willing to dig deep into the numbers if called upon.Just like I do in my day to day job-I consider the taxpayer's money sacred. I want to make Atlantic Beach better-And I'm willing to put in the time and effort. Ask the people that live on my street. I'm aware of some of the challenges- Parking, crowds, crime, etc.- I've deal with similar issues across a wide spectrum both stateside and overseas. I need to be a more active member of my community and this looks like an excellent fit for me. I won't make this statement long and I know you have my resume- If I'm not selected please let me know a good volunteer position that you feel could use my skills-Atlantic Beach has given me so much- I'd like to give something back-Thanks, Bruce BRUCE BOLE h 79 Shell Street,Atlantic Beach,FL 32233 lir 904-874-0019 ® bole2000@comcast.net PROVEN LEADERSHIP SKILLS-FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EXPERT-EDUCATOR-AUTHOR SUIV MARY/SIILLLS/QUALIFICATIONS 30 years' extensive experience serving the United States Navy, achieving the rank of Captain; extensive history of successful leadership in a variety of high level and highly visible roles,and culminating the service as Chief of Staff/Operations Officer for the U.S.Naval Region Southeast.
