A Veteran myself and retiree, Senior Chief Petty Officer/E8, USNR-Ret. Serving 15 March 1985 to 1 May 2006. Entered the Naval Reserve under the Exceptionally Honorable Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States of America. I come from a long line of US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Marine Corps, and even CSA Veterans (Virginia 40th Volunteer Infantry Regiment). Freedom isn't free and high prices have been paid by millions of our Veterans, and also, their families. Lest we forget....

My personal passion is performing music as both a singer and instrumentalist since an early age. Singing as early as 9, and playing guitar by 10.5.

Educationally, I have a MBA, and a BS in Management/Computer Information Systems.

Nonetheless, death is the leveler of all mankind, great and small. I find the gravesites particularly poignant, and a reminder to walk humbly before God, and remember those who made us the people we are today, with the utmost love and respect for them and their memories.
