I am a proud father, husband and Marine. I enlisted in the Marine Corps right out of high school and immediately loved everything it stands for. After graduating recruit training and my Military Occupational Specialty schools I was stationed at Cherry Point, North Carolina in July of 2013. While stationed on Cherry Point I deployed on the USS Peleilu in support of the 31st MEU, the USS Bonhomme Richard in support of the 31st MEU, and Air Force Base Incirlik, Turkey in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. In between deployments I was fortunate to attend the Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor Course, Martial Arts Instructor Trainer Course, and my Professional Military Education Courses where I graduated all with some form of honors or recognition. In October of 2017 I attended Drill Instructor School. Upon graduation I was assigned to 3rd Recruit Training battalion where I served as Drill Instructor and Senior Drill Instructor. During this time I attended the Marine Combat Water Survival Instructor School where I graduated honor graduate. In January 2020 I was hand selected to serve as an instructor at Drill Instructor School where I served as squad instructor and School Drill Master. Throughout my time as a Drill Instructor I was honored to have a part in making over 500 Marines and over 250 Drill Instructors.
