Pre-Starfleet History: Valek ran the family business for a few years after his parents died, until his younger siblings could take over. Then he turned his attention back to his career and eventually joined Starfleet.
Starfleet History: Served aboard the USS Cochrane, an exploratory research vessel involved in cartography and star-mapping.
