Bio
I have served our nation in various capacities for over 15 years, both in uniform and as an Army Civilian in times of both peace and war. I have a broad range of experience and expertise from the tactical small team level up through the Army Staff, in roles ranging from common military activities, intelligence collection and analysis, policy and administration, and advisor to general officers.
After graduating from Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon, I enlisted in the United States Army, serving on active duty from 2000 to 2007. After being Honorably Discharged from active duty, I served as an Army Reservist for a year before joining the PAARNG in 2015. I've worked as a civilian intelligence specialist for the Army in the Pentagon since 2008, living in DC with my wife and three children.
