Bio 

I enlisted in 2003 to become a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, something that looked exciting to me at the ripe age of 18 before entering the military. It was an exciting start, jumped frequently out of "high speed" aircraft. As my career lengthened, I experience some of the best and worst aspects of military life. Twice deployed to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. Loved it, won't forget. Recently certified as NC Paramedic. Married for over 10 years, 2 children and custody of my sister, who is nearly ready to become an adult (just graduated HS, working, planning on her future).
