Bio:
Graduated from Rockwall High School (Rockwall, TX) in 1992 and two months later was off to basic training.  After Basic Training and completion of AIT as a 76C was stationed at Fort Clayton, Panama with 193rd Support Battalion. After leaving Panama, I stopped off at Fort Benning, Georgia for jump school, on my way to being stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. At Fort Bragg, I was assigned to 307th FSB 82nd Airborne Division.  After leaving active duty, I spent some time in the reserves but found that not to be for me.  Now, I fill the void of not being in actively in the military with being in the 7th Cavalry. Every day that I am in the 7th Cavalry, the more I enjoy the camaraderie.
