I am an energetic, tough but fair and extremely caring individual. My passion is working with "At-Risk" children of all ages and have spent my career in education and similar fields as a teacher, coach, mentor and care-giver. I have over 10 years’ experience working with learning disabled children and children with social/emotional or behavioral disabilities.I am also the executive officer of a professional paintball team with responsibility for event planning, travel coordination, treasurer, recruitment and social media. The team plays to raise funds for abused children and we work with Blue Sunday to ensure these funds get to the right places. In addition, I write for an online paintball publication, "The Catshack Reports", reviewing various fields, equipment and other related interests of the global paintball community.I served in the 1/15 Infantry, 3ID, stationed for two years in Schweinfurt, Germany with duties ranging from dismount rifleman to back up gunner on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV). My unit was deployed and served in Operation Desert Storm (Feb. 1991) and I was honorably discharged in 1997.
