Bio
I am humbled by all of the heroes that surround me here on RallyPoint! My military service was a very formative part of my life and directed me into the careers that would follow. Now that I am retired, I appreciate my service a lot more than I did while it was happening, and I am thankful for the time I was able to serve my country.
