Bio
I am a %100 service connected disabled Veteran. Since I cannot work due to my injuries I have been writing. I mainly write about WW2, The Philippines, and Military History.
I now spend my time spent between the USA and the Philippines. I am doing research about a battle that almost happened on the Bicol island of Catanduanes, and this will be a full length book by 2017.
History researcher, Multiple computer certifications in network and computer security.

Military Experiences
Feb 2004 - Mar 2005
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Analyst
Worked in various Intelligence jobs for the SE Asia region. Provided support for OEF JTF Philippines.
Jan 2000 - Nov 2000
Classified Material Control Custodian
Assistant to Mustang Commander for SFWSL DET BFT while on Limited Duty. During this time I was on extended light limited duty due to injuries to my neck, back, and shoulder and required several surgeries.
During this time I acted as a classified material control custodian for MALS-31 and also as an liaison office assistant to a O-4.
I was given the option to medically discharge but I chose not to. During this time I studied for my EAWS and FMF Warfare devices and was pinned once I returned to active duty.
In retrospect, I should have allowed myself to be medically retired because I have never fully recovered. However I am proud of my fortitude to stick with my duties and finish my enlistment.
