Was recently in the Republic of Georgia as a military trainer until the whole armed confllict started between the Georgians, South Ossetians and Russian military. I've been in close to 8 years. Have worked and traveled throughout Asia and Europe with the military. Love the professional and life experience.

ions Bank, and before that when it was Barnett Bank. Quit and ended up at Raymond James Financial across the Bay. Quit that job too into my second year of grad school. Hated working behind a cubicle. Did some odd part-time jobs to pay for school, like waiting tables and working at Yellow Freight. Love what I'm doing now in the military. My combat deployment to Afghanistan more or less has convinced me to stay in until I retire.
