Carl Madsen’s Summary

20 years of leadership experience with the US Army, Army Reserve, Iowa National Guard and Minnesota National Guard as an enlisted Supply Specialist, Airborne soldier, Cadet, Lieutenant, Captain, Company Commander, Staff Officer, and Major, trained as a Combat Engineer. Mobilized twice in the defense of our nation, never placed in a combat zone. Received a Meritorious Service Medal before retiring in 2005.

Project management experience goes back to 1989 leading a construction crew at Camp Dodge, Iowa, then again as a Landscape Architect and eventually as an Electrician.

My goal is to find challenging work where I can make a difference.
