Just to let you know a little about me….
My name is Dan Polo, I am original from San Juan P.R. I am 37 years old and I was born in San Juan P.R. in 1973. I had the opportunity to be educated in several schools in Puerto Rico. I coursed studies in Biology and psychology at “Sacred Heart University of Puerto Rico” from 1992 to 1998. At the same time,from 1994 to 1998,
I had the opportunity to work at the
Auxilio Mutuo Hospital of Puerto Rico.
Although my original interest in Biology was just to do research in genetics and microbiology, during my first year at Auxilio Mutuo I became interested in the physics involved in radiology and all the applications involved in this field. Somehow, I eventually was trained by other technologists at Auxilio Mutuo and learned all the procedures and modalities I could. From 1997 to 1998, I was hired to supervise the radiology department of Auxilio Mutuo Hospital on weekends and holidays, through G.K. Professional Services.
Eventually, we moved down to Louisville Kentucky, where we have been since January 2000.
We had the opportunity to work in different hospitals in the Louisville area. We divorced in 2008 after I returned from back to back mobilizations..
I currently am working in the field of CT scanning, and occasionally in radiography. Also own and operate Polo K-9, LLC mostly as a canine behavior modification trainer. In 2007 I completed a K-9 Instructor Course at Tarheel Canine in Sanford North Carolina..
Although most of my background is related to the USMC, I currently serve in the U.S. Navy Reserves in Louisville Kentucky; always hoped to be of some use on the active duty side at some point.
I have been mobilized three times since 2005 and tried to do my best using whatever skills I have developed over the years.
Married in 2010 to a very special woman. Samantha and I are big dog lovers and are quite experienced at training dogs and working behavior issues. We met through North Carolina Rottweiler Rescue and funny I always had a crush on her but we were always separated by the distance.
I only hope I can either retire and get some land somewhere to open my own sanctuary/kennel or that while I am still working that we can dedicate more time to training dogs to make them adoptable or to assist disabled veterans.
Ideally, I would be able to have a sucessful dog related bussiness, but for now I am just sticking to radiology and part time dog rehab and training.

During my years in Auxilio Mutuo, I would say I learned and polished my skills in the field of radiology and became a better technologist.
In November 1998, I married my first wife Aida. That after dating for about one year.
One week after we married, I left Puerto Rico and moved to the area of Northern Kentucky and in January 1999 was able to bring Aida up there. For a while I worked for companies such as Walgreens Health Initiatives, and AVON in Cincinnati Ohio.
