I have proudly served my country for more than 25 years in the United States Marine Corps and am truly glad, and blessed, to have been able to share these experiences with my family.  I have cherished every moment where I was able to motivate, mentor and be an inspiration to my family, Marines and the many young adults who have needed my assistance and leadership throughout my career.  This experience has allowed me to travel the world, spend time with family and friends, expand my spiritual growth on many levels, and has made me better a leader and a better person.
