Dotson serves as a Storekeeper 1st Class at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), where he plays a critical role in the logistical and supply chain support for facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization efforts across the Great Lakes region. Responsible for inventory management, materiel accountability, and procurement coordination, Dotson ensures that mission-critical materials and components are available to support building envelope repairs, mechanical system upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives. His position bridges operational needs with acquisition execution, facilitating timely delivery of specialized construction and maintenance supplies essential to Coast Guard facility readiness.

His working relationships are characterized by reliability, just-in-time delivery expectations, and adherence to federal supply standards, ensuring seamless integration of procured goods into ongoing facility improvement projects.

This reflects deep technical expertise in sourcing building components and specialty trade services critical to infrastructure resilience, demonstrating a command of construction materials, thermal envelope systems, and facility support logistics essential to Coast Guard operational continuity.
