About Me





5 years with the active Army's 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart Georgia. Got deployed twice, once to Kuwait for Operation Enduring Freedom and then the Kuwaiti border and later Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. After my initial enlistment and the stop-loss I made the change over to the Reserves and began going to college. I'm finished now with a degree in Political Science from Texas A&M. I have traveled or lived in Texas, Georgia, Kansas, Washington, Arkansas, New York, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Florida, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Kuwait and Iraq. I will be returning to Acive Duty as an Officer on June 12th.
