#Duckumentary - Tim Welcher

What did you do before your time at EDA?

Before joining EDA, I served in the U.S. Army Special Forces for 20 years. I was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC and deployed to Afghanistan five times. I held various positions during my service, including:

• Special Forces Engineer Sergeant: Performed demolitions and construction tasks in support of unconventional warfare operations in Afghanistan and Mali.
• Instructor at the Special Forces Non-Commissioned Officers Academy: Trained and mentored future Special Forces leaders in tactical and operational skills.
• Special Forces Operations Sergeant: Led a 12-man team in conducting direct action, counterterrorism, and foreign internal defense missions in Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
• Leader of the Special Operations Combatives Program for 3rd Special Forces Group: Oversaw the development and implementation of a comprehensive hand-to-hand combat training program for all Special Forces soldiers in the group.

After retiring from the Army, I worked as an Operations Manager for an Amazon delivery station, where I managed over 150 associates and ensured the efficient and timely processing of up to 60,000 packages per day.
