Bio
I entered military service and began my career as a Cavalry Scout when I reported for One Station unit Training to FT. Knox, KY on 22 November 1990. Since that time period I have served at duty locations around the world to include, FT Chaffee, AR, Little Rock AFB, AR, Texas and Arkansas National Guard (College 1994-1998) FT Polk, LA, Budingen, GE, FT Carson, CO, Bosnia, Korea, Iraq, and FT Benning, GA. While serving in these locations, I have been placed in numerous duty positions to include HMMWV driver, M551 Sheridan driver, Sheridan and Bradley gunner, HMMWV commander, Sheridan Commander, Bradley Gunner, Bradley Commander, S3 assistant Operations Sergeant, Squad Leader, Section Leader, and Platoon Sergeant.
I have participated in numerous training and combat deployments to include the National Training Center, Joint Readiness Training Center, Operation Joint Forge/Guard as a HMMWV gunner, Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraqi Governance and National Resolution phases) as a Bradley Commander and (Iraqi Surge and Iraqi Sovereignty phases) as a Platoon Sergeant, and Operation New Dawn as Assistant Operations Sergeant.
Currently, I serve as an Army Reconnaissance Course Senior Instructor/Writer for the 3rd Squadron, 16th Cavalry Regiment at FT Benning, GA.
First official job was at McDonalds at 16yrs old. That was my eye opener to the real world and the need for a work ethic. During my break from active duty I work retail were I was promoted very quickly to a manager due to the life experience the Army taught me. I have also worked in construction (Asphalt) as part of my fathers buisness and as a dairy distributor (family buisness on mothers side).
