John Dees

’m John Dees, a 27-year-old with a diverse background in military service, industrial maintenance, and an unwavering passion for pursuing new challenges. Originally from Ocala, FL, and now living in Princeton, KY, my journey has been anything but traditional—and that’s exactly how I like it. I began my professional career at Amazon in Ruskin, FL, where I worked as a stower before deciding to serve my country. In 2018, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an AH-64 Apache helicopter mechanic. My time in the military shaped me into a leader: from basic training at Fort Jackson, SC, to advanced individual training at Fort Eustis, VA, and multiple assignments overseas and stateside, including Katterbach, Germany, Fort Bragg, NC, and Fort Campbell, KY. Along the way, I led multimillion-dollar aircraft maintenance teams, spearheaded downed aircraft recovery operations, and was honored with numerous awards, including Achievement Medals, Good Conduct Medals, and Commendation Medals. In 2021, I married my beautiful wife, Meleena, and took on the role of a parent to my wonderful stepdaughter, Lanette. In 2022, our family grew with the arrival of our son, Kainan. These experiences have fueled my desire for growth and have reminded me of the importance of hard work, commitment, and leadership. After proudly serving my country, I transitioned to civilian life in 2025 and started a new chapter as an industrial electrician at Tyson Foods. In addition to my work in the electrical field, I hold certifications in HVAC systems, a Secret Security Clearance, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics. My life is about continuous self-improvement, and I’m always looking for the next big challenge. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family, enjoying the great outdoors—fishing, hunting, or operating my eBay store. But one thing I’ve always had on my mind is acting. My dream is to one day take on some of the most significant roles in the industry. I believe that with determination, there’s no limit to what I can achieve, and acting is my next great adventure.
