Bio
Enjoyed my service to this great nation and miss it every day. My fiancée Stephanie and I work together with each other and other veterans organizations on veteran suicide, veterans benefits, and any other type of assistance a veteran may need. If we don't have the answer, we can find someone who does, and get you pointed in the right direction. We're all family here!
