Life: At the end of my junior year at Gunn High school I moved with my Dad to Modesto where I attended my senior year at Riverbank High, after I graduated I joined the AirForce, spent 3 yrs at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson AZ, I was transfered to Okinawa for 2yrs, then ended my enlistment in back in Tucson. After my enlistment was complete I got out and worked for the Tucson Housing Authority, then got a job with the Corrections Dept. and then moved to the Tucson Police Dept as a patrolman.

ship for Peace and Sister Cities program with Kazakhstan/Almaty, I was able to spend over five years working with people including the Governor of AZ, the ambassador of Kazakhstan, the Adjutant general of AZ, the head of FEMA International, four star General Zinni, but more importantly I had the opportunity to work and help a former Russian country help build here emergency response program to help save lives and rescue people in the event o an earthquake or floods.
Hobbies: I enjoy horseback riding, camping, done some skydiving, scuba diving, and I enjoy most water sports. My favorite is flying I have accomplished my private license in both fixed wing and rotor craft. I am close to accomplishing an instrument and commercial rating in both. One of the highlights of of my flying experience was when I got the opportunity to literally fly an F-16, I flew with an instructor who handed over the controls to me for over 45 minutes of the flight where I personally flew barrel rolls, inverted, loops and several other maneuvers to include 9.2 G's.
