Well, were do I start I am married with a son Isaiah Joel he is a little over six months old. My wife is Therese. We have two cats Destiny and Precious. We have been together for 5 years in April. Married for a little over a year. June 24, 2006. We live in the South Suburbs. I work for AMVETS Foundation as Veterans Service Officer. I still attend college trying to get my Associates in Social Work. Almost finished (: Other than that just trying to maintain. Life is good, no complaints. Just reaching out to say whats up to everyone who knows me and thanks for checking up on me.
College
I attend Prairie State College part time for the last few years. Taking classes here and there when I have time. Eventually I will get a AA degree in Social Work. Nevertheless I make good money without a degree. It is more of a self fufilling thing. It seems like forever when you take school slow,but I know I will get it sooner or later. Thanks for looking in on me.

I was a part of 82nd Airborne Unit, where I accumulated 12 high performance aircraft jumps and 1 helicopter jump from a UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter. All the rest where from a C-130 Cargo Plane and a C-141. I went to Basic Training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Advanced Individual Training at Ft. Lee, Virginia were I was taught to be a Food Service Specialist, Airborne School at Ft. Benning, GA and my permanent duty station was Ft. Bragg, NC is where I finished my short but sweet Army career. I never had to go to war, thank God. Joining the military,has helped my career out greatly. I have the job today thanks to my choice of joining the military. I work for AMVETS as Veteran Service Officer. I help Veteran's and there families obtain benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs for injuries occured while in the service. Well that is my military career in a nut shell. Thanks for looking in on me. Wish everyone good health, good fortune, and happy spirits.
