I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a E-2 in the United States Army. I am a Public Affairs Broadcast Journalist and a graduate of the Defense Information School. It's my job to go out into the field armed with a camera and a pen to document and tell the stories of the men and women in our Armed Forces.

If you do want me to like you, try being one or most of the following: Intelligent, articulate, witty, funny, and not an uggo. Natch.

Bryan Spradlin --
[noun]:

A poltergeist sent back in time to change the course of history forever

Also, Richard Matheson, Tim O'Brien, Joseph Heller, and the creators of the documentary Red Dawn.

People who aren't dickweeds.
