Bio 

Started in the Army guard of Virginia as a 62E or heavy equipment operator. Transfered to the mechanized infantry in Spokane Washington and left the Army Guard for an ROTC scholarship at Eastern Washington University. Decided I would rather join the Coast Guard then be an Army officer so enlisted in 1996. Became an EM and served on CGC Sherman and Acacia in the great lakes for four years. I joined the Army guard while I was still in high school. I transferred to the Army Guard of Washington State after Graduating High School in Virginia. Spent three years in college and joined the USCG. Did four years CG active and got out. Joined the Washington Air guard and retired in December of 2015.
