My name is Cole Coffman, I am 27 years old, and I live in Columbia, Missouri. I was in the US ARMY for 4 1/2 years, I worked in automated logistics, and I deployed one time to Kuwait. The love of helping people came when I was young; my father had ALS or known as Lou Garrick's disease. I remember helping or him when I was a young boy. Since then I always knew that I was meant to help people. I joined the US Army when I was 19 and my goal in Mission was to try to help fight for our freedom and for America and help care for people and love people. In 2015 my mom was diagnosed with cancer and the US ARMY called me and I got leave and I moved in with my mother and helped take care of her with all her needs, including bathing, cooking, dressing, grooming, and being some one that she can talk to. That gave me the love to want to help more people when I got older. I'm going to college at Moberly area community college for right now and I plan to complete my undergraduate degree online. I want to work in addiction with specialties in PTSD and depression. I understand what people go through when they go through addiction and when they go through PTSD and traumatic events. I believe we need more people that are caring and loving and compassionate in the world that we live in today. I want to be that example for all the people I work with and all the people I work for. I'm excited to start this job in this journey with you and I cannot wait to get to know each and everyone of you better.
