Hello,

I enlisted while I was in high school. Two years later I was commissioned through the early commission program. 

My grandfathers both served in WWII and my father served in Vietnam. I was deployed to Iraq in 2002-2003. While I might not have always liked all of my assignments I wouldn’t change anything about my career. I developed as a person from all of them. I joined because I thought it was the right thing to do and I stayed in as long as I believed I could contribute to our country.

I am blessed to have served with a lot of great service members from all branches. While our country has challenges I have never doubted that it is the best country in the world.
