Life

I served 3 in a half years in Germany where I witnessed the fall of the Berlin wall, and traveled throughout Europe during Desert Shield/Storm as I was assigned to an anti-terrorist task force.

of Military Investigations and Crime Prevention, a position I served in for almost 6 years. I was medically retired from the military in October of 2000. I had broken my back and neck, while I was responding to a domestic violence call when I was struck from behind. I have undergone 3 surgeries to date and doctors have pieced me back together after removing 10 disc, fusing 17 vertebre, placing 4 steal rods and a hand full of screws in my neck and back. After leaving the Army I went back to school and completed 2 Associate degrees in Washington State. I currently live in Vancouver Washington with my family and am doing well.
