Bio
While taking time to get started in my career within the military I quickly found my niche being assigned as an E3 to an E5 minimum Forward Command billet. Specialized in sub/air/surface assets to detect and locate hostile air and subsurface assets. Spent time working as support OTHT-C4I for 7th Fleet. Injured in OEF and medically separated & later retired.
A graphic artist/designer in both 2D and 3D, with animation experience in both, spending most of his time creating art or typing (90wpm). Due to injuries preventing gainful employment that have progressed some over the years, I remain 90% military disabled with a projected 100% VA rating this year (2016).

Due to injuries sustained in OEF, was assigned to COMFLEACT Yokosuka, Japan to act in support of operations as a Petty Officer between periodic surgeries.
