Workplace
I have worked in casinos(Mirage& Treasure Island) since I arrived in Vegas in 1995. In 2002 I resigned to become a military veteran's advocate. I belong to several veterans organizations.I became a real estate investor and created a non-profit organization that house,cloth, feed and employ the homeless and other disadvantaged people.It's great feeling to help people get back up
when life has knocked them down.
I decided to take on a different endeavor as a veterans advocate at the very beginning of 2006. I am currently assisting disabled vets and their families with aquiring VA benefits.
Military
I WAS DRAFTED INTO THE ARMY AFTER HIGH SCHOOL IN 1969. I WAS SENT TO VIETNAM IN 1970 AND WAS WOUNDED IN ACTION RECEIVING A PURPLE HEART.IT WAS A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AT THE TIME; HOWEVER, THE PH HAS OPENED MANY DOORS FOR ME. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
