About me:

I was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corp while stationed in Camp Pendleton, California on Febuary 27, 2008. I was a 1371 Combat Engineer and 0933 Marksmanship Coach, work with Demolitions a lot and along with construction and instructed Marines from my Battalion how to qualify on Wilcox Rifle Range with the M16A2/A4 and M9 service pistol. I enjoyed what I got to do, but I also hate the crap that came with it. I've been all over the southeast regions of Asia on the 31st MEU and down in South America with UNITAS 41. I was stationed in Parris Island, South Carolina; Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; and in Okinawa Japan. During the 31st MEU I've been to Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Russia. On UNITAS 41 I've gone to Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, add Iraq due to a 6 month deployment with CLB-7. Now alittle about me. I was born in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylviana September 28, 1978. Lived there for the first 10 years of my life. Then in 1989 after hurricane Hugo went through the Carolinas my father, brother, and I moved to Florida. I graduated from Titusville High School in May 1997. I entered the U.S. Marine Corps during the summer of 97. Right before my discharge from the Marines I got married to Jennifer who is my lovely better half that keeps me in check, don't know what I'd do without her! Also from my last marrage I have a wonderful 6 year son who means the world to me. I try my best to keep up with what most of my family is doing. Its hard for me cause my family is everywhere in the U.S. I don't mind the traveling. I love traveling all over. Like when I went to Okinawa, Japan, it was a complete different place then in America. I'm happy for where I got to go, the friendships made and enjoyed what I did while serving my country.
