Bio
I joined in Feb. 1986 and went through basic at Ft. Knox. I attended AIT at Ft. Ben Harrison, IN and went to Ft. Huachuca until Feb. 1990. I left active duty and went to SD and joined the SDARNG 153d Eng Bn. while I went to college at SDSU. In 2000 I left the Engineers due to a bad back and joined the newly formed 727th Trans (PLS) at Elk Point, SD and deployed to Iraq in 2003. I retired in 2007.
