I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and enlisted in the Air Force in March of 1994. I was a Security Policeman and honorably discharged in 1998 after being stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa, Japan and Hanscom AFB in Lexington, MA. I left the military with an AA Degree in Criminal Justice from the Community College of the Air Force.

After my time in the Air Force, I spent twelve years working as a Logistics Analyst at FedEx. During my time at FedEx, I earned my MBA from Northwood University. My family and I moved to Henderson, NV in 2014 where we still live today.

I have two adult children, Jordan (28) and Abigail (18) with my wife of twenty-two years, Stacy. I am currently retired, and I spend my time playing wheelchair rugby for the Las Vegas High Rollers and advocating for my Veteran brothers and sisters.
