From your perspective, how and why do you believe that Caterpillar would benefit from hiring military veterans into the company?Д¬aterpillar would benefit greatly from hiring Veterans for many reasons. I am responsible for Healthcare Plan Design and I am the Process Owner for our new Wellness Vendor, ActiveHealth, which administers the Health Risk Assessment, Tobacco Cessation, and Disease Management programs.ДЈ. My current position is Healthcare and Wellness Benefits Supervisor. What are your current roles and responsibilities at Caterpillar? Everyone has been great and the transition has been a smooth one.Дў. Since I started here in Dec 2012, it has been the best experience for me and my family after leaving the military. I also heard that Caterpillar was very conservative and it took care of its people. I wanted to work for a company with a strong history and brand, and Caterpillar has that and even more. Once I started to research Caterpillar's jobs and culture, I became even more excited. I have always dreamed of working for Caterpillar, figuring that it would be a perfect situation to be able to work and live near my wife's family. My wife is from Peoria, IL, and we wanted to be close to her family. I was stationed in Japan, Belgium, Spain, Colorado, Georgia, and Oklahoma. Some positions I held in the Air Force include Senior HR Manager, Recruiter, Regional Training Supervisor (for Recruiters), and Fuels Specialist. I retired from the Air Force (Active Duty) in November of 2012, after 22 years of service. How did your career bring you to Caterpillar and why was Caterpillar the best employer for you?
