Cima is a United States Army veteran who served 20 years, a West Point graduate and is well-experienced with the construction of sports facilities.
Originally from Western Pennsylvania, Cima was a junior in high school when he decided that attending the United States Military Academy would allow him to continue playing football and receive an advanced education beyond his family’s financial capacity.
After graduation, Cima became an infantryman in Vietnam.
“I was an infantryman, so for 13 months I was plodding around the jungles of Vietnam, but fortunately, although I was wounded, I don’t have any physical disabilities like a lot of veterans,” Cima said.
