Dean's Story
After High School spent 5 years in Lincoln and graduated from UNL with a Degree in Construction Management. Spent the next two years working in Dallas in the Construction Industry. After the oil slump in the 80s in Texas affected the construction jobs I moved to Kansas City and worked in construction for two years. At this point in my life I was missing something and determined I would join the Army and Serve my Country. I grew up an Air Force brat so I missed the moving around and camaraderie of the service. I enlisted in 1988 and served my first tour in Germany. Upon returning from Germany I received my commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers. My decision to join the Army was the best in my life. I have developed many friends and met my wife and we had two beautiful girls. I have deploye...Expand for more
d to a number of countries around the world, Iraq, Kuwait, Bosnia, Panama, Costa Rica. All of these trips increased my appreciation of the United States. My tour in Iraq was bittersweet. I saw first hand the progress we are allowing the Iraqi people and government but at the cost of 4 of my Soldiers, whom I will never forget. The dates they died will forever be engraved in my memory. I continue to serve and have almost 21 years in service and have obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. I look forward to retirement in the next few years. The moving around all my life has been fun and has enhanced my life but I am now ready to settle down. In my 47 years of life I have moved over 25 times. Not sure what the next chapter of my life will bring but I what ever it will be I will enjoy it with my family and friends.
