Hello!

I just separated from service after being a Chemical Officer with the U.S. army for the past 13 years. I'm now continuing my service as a Reservist. This photo was taken when I was a company commander deployed to Bosnia.

I've always enjoyed writing, but haven't had time in the last couple of years. Recently I have again picked up the pen and paper. I'm working on a novel and have several short stories that I hope to bring to completion in the near future.
