About

I am a proud retired Army veteran with 33 years of dedicated service in the United States Army. Throughout my military career, I contributed to various missions and worked alongside some of the most talented individuals in the armed forces. I earned an Associate of Arts degree in General Studies from Central Texas College and an Associate degree in Human Sciences from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. This educational background has provided me with a solid foundation, enhanced my skills, and prepared me for life after military service. I continue to take pride in my service and the values instilled in me during my time in the Army.
