Gerald Boursiquot, Is a multilingual veteran with a story that's anything but ordinary. Born in Spring Valley, New York, He spent 22 incredible years serving our country in both the Navy and Air Force. 23 if you don’t count one more year that was not his own choice. More about that later... **Military Highlights** During his service, Gerald Boursiquot served as a Navy Seaman and an Airforce Airman—He was assigned as critical communications support technician in both branches, who overseas in many dangerous nations. Talk about pressure! At one point, on a deployment He was the only certified technician on a particular Air Base base. His language skills were a game-changer as well—He became the go-to translator for the French-speaking WiFi/Satcom contractors when the assigned translator was MIA. Imagine being the only person on the base who would be instrumental in helping deployed troops connect with their loved ones during a deployment in hostile territory! His contributions earned him both an Air Force Achievement ribbon and the Air Force Expeditionary ribbon. **Professional Journey** After Active Duty in the from the military, He had already transitioned into the defense industry as a certified IT professional for over 10 years. This gave him the opportunity to travel and experience other countries. Now, He has become a sort of social media influencer and life success advocate with a mission to support veterans, former believers, and anyone recovering from intense life trauma. **Education and Languages** He holds two degrees: a Communications Media Arts degree from Alliance University (with an emphasis in Biblical and religious studies) and a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Information Systems and Cyber Security. Languages are his superpower—He is fluent in English, and Haitian Creole, and somewhat fluent in French while currently expanding his skills in German and Spanish. **Personal Journey** Growing up as the child of Haitian parents who fled Haiti in 1960 for New York in the United States during the brutal regime of “Papa Doc” Francois Duvalier's from 1957-1971. He learned resilience early being the eldest of three, himself and two sisters.. His journey includes leaving the church after being a committed member of 30+ years due to witnessing systemic corruption—an experience that shaped his commitment to helping others navigate life's complex challenges. My story is about transformation. As an introspective person with a happy-go-lucky exterior, He learned young to listen carefully and quickly adapt, not always successfully. Now, He is dedicated to helping people find their passion and pursue it relentlessly. Gerald believes that these experiences have shaped him in such a way that he is poised to serve as our next Assemblymen for district seventy five in Sacramento. My message is simple: You have a unique gift that the world needs. Are you ready to discover yours, and stop keeping us waiting, the world needs you to step up.
