About
Originally, I'm Alaskan born and military raised, having lived in various places, both CONUS and OCONUS. I have also served in the military for 14.5 yrs, both US Air Force and Army. I am currently a full time student at UT Martin, Criminal Justice Major with a German Minor. I had planned on continuing my career in the military as an officer and was a member of the UTM ROTC, unfortunately the injuries I sustained in Iraq required that it was time for me to retire. I am married, and between us we have four amazing children, our oldest two are in fact, UTM students as well.
