About Me

Born in Tulsa, OK in August of 1980. Grew up in Plainfield, IL, home of the 1990 tornado, the PHS Wildcats, and now overgrown subdivions. Graduated from PHS in 1999, and joined the Army shortly after. I proudly severved in the the 101st Airborne Division, and went to Airassault school in the summer of 2001. In 2003 I deployed to Iraq, and will say that I love my country which is why I am opposed to the war against Iraq. In 2004 I enrolled at Southern Illinois Univeristy, that same semester I joined Theta Xi Fraternity, and am currently working on a degree in speech communication. I consider myself a proud Patriot, a die hard SIU Saluki and Chi-Town fan, a Christian and believer in Christ, and hope and pray for peace around the world. Now I'm on a computer editing this profile, avoiding real work..
