I joined the United States Army Reserve in 1999. I attended Indiana University after completing basic training and advanced individual training. I transferred to Oakland City University but left school after September 11th 2001. I volunteered for deployment to the Middle East and served there from 2002-2004. Upon return, I worked for Puritan Water Conditioning until the spring of 2022. During this time I deployed for additional military tours in 2008-2009 and 2020-2021. I started working with Cook Home Services in the Spring of 2022. During my time with Puritan and Cook I have worked as a water quality technician and home services technician. During my military career I have worked as a fuel distribution specialist and supervisor, shower and laundry NCO (to include squad leader, Platoon Sergeant, and First Sergeant), and Operations NCO in a Sustainment Command. I am married with three children.
