I was born in Jacksonville,
Florida in 1974. I graduated from First Coast High School in 1992. I
joined the Florida Air National Guard and became a Life Support
Technician. I received my Associates in Arts degree from Florida Community
College at Jacksonville, followed by my Bachelors of Arts degree from the
University of North Florida. I majored in Photography and minored in Art
History. After college I traded in my Air Force stripes for Army bars by
becoming an Army Warrant Officer. I attended Army Flight School and became
a UH-60A Blackhawk aviator. After serving more than 2 years in South
Korea, I'm currently stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
