Bio
I joined the Navy in 1979 to attend the US Naval Academy Prep School. I went on to Annapolis in 1980 and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1984. I accepted my commission as a Marine Officer, went to Flight School and became a Naval Aviator in 1986. I was designated as a Cobra Pilot in 1987 and was assigned to HMLA-169 at Camp Pendleton. I was with the "Vipers" until leaving active duty in 1992.
