Bio
Returned home following my military service. Worked at the local Sheriff's Department for 3 1/2 years but opted to leave it to take a position with the United States Postal Service, which afforded me the opportunity to regain the credit for the decade that I spent in military service (by repaying 3% of my military wages). I am currently employed by the USPS, where i have been since 1998.
