Proud Veteran

I served in the United States Army for ten years.  For seven years, I was a forward observer for field artillery.  I finished my career as a hand grenade instructor for officers headed to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

​

My unit was deployed after 9/11 when my son was only 3 months old.  My wife had the toughest job of all, taking care of a newborn and everything that comes along with a deployed husband.

​

I was fortunate to serve with amazing men and women.  I saw bravery, leadership, selfless service, and dedication from every soldier.  The army creates professional soldiers and professional leaders; I'm very proud of my Army service.

​

The Army taught me to lead by example.  I learned when to listen and think and when to make a decision and act.
