He then joined the United States Navy in 1988 in Subic Bay, serving for 30 years in the supply corps and retiring in 2018 as Master Chief Petty Officer. Following retirement, he worked as a logistic analyst in Norfolk, and came home everyday happy to see his family.
He always had big plans for his children, hoping that one day both of his sons will graduate from college. One of his sons has even followed in his footsteps to become a Naval Officer and to serve for his country the same way his father has.
