Rusten's Story
Life
My road has taken me to the four corners, the road I am on now has taken me into the very heart of Iraq and back again, I got to view this history firsthand, daily I walked it, and nightly I listened to it as it whispered its song in my ears.

I started Grad School at Norwich seeking an MA in International Relations, then again got sidetracked by a little war in South West Asia, called Iraqi Freedom.
