I'm just another person that spends way too much time on Wikipedia. I'm a proud American who spent 13 years in the [[U.S. Army]], five of which were spent overseas. I've recently discovered that I enjoy editing Wikipedia articles. There are a lot of errors and false/inaccurate data on many of these pages and I try to clean them up.

I was born in [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. State)|Georgia]] in July of [[1980]]. For the most part I grew up in [[Rome, Georgia|Rome]], Georgia. I call Atlanta and Rome home, though I've lived all over the world at various times. I attended [[Jacksonville State University]] in Jacksonville, [[Alabama]] from [[1999]] until my graduation in [[2004]] with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Military Science. Upon graduating college I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the [[U.S. Army]]. I was branched Armor and sent to [[Fort Knox]], [[Kentucky]] to attend the Armor Officer Basic Course. In February of 2005 I moved to [[Schweinfurt, Germany]] and in February 2008 I moved to [[Grafenwoehr]]. In [[2010]] I was sent to [[Fort Benning]], GA where I eventually commanded an Abrams tank company with the 3rd Infantry Division and later a cavalry troop with the U.S. Army Armor School training newly commissioned 2nd lieutenants of Armor. In December 2014 I left the Army, I currently reside in [[Nashville, Tennessee]].

I'm just another person that spends way too much time on Wikipedia. I'm a proud American who spent 13 years in the U.S. Army, five of which were spent overseas. I've recently discovered that I enjoy editing Wikipedia articles. There are a lot of errors and false/inaccurate data on many of these pages and I try to clean them up.

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia in July of 1980. I grew up in various places, including Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, College Park, Georgia, Algonac, Michigan, and Rome, Georgia. I call Atlanta and Rome home, though I've lived all over the world at various times. I attended Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama from 1999 until my graduation in 2004 with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Military Science. Upon graduating college I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. I was branched Armor and sent to Fort Knox, Kentucky to attend the Armor Officer Basic Course. In February of 2005 I moved to Schweinfurt, Germany and in February 2008 I moved to Grafenwoehr. In 2010 I was sent to Fort Benning, GA where I eventually commanded an Abrams tank company with the 3rd Infantry Division and later a cavalry troop with the U.S. Army Armor School training newly commissioned 2nd lieutenants of Armor. In December 2014 I left the Army, I currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee.

On 28 August 2006 I deployed with the 1st Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment as part of the 2nd "Dagger" Heavy Brigade Combat Team from Schweinfurt, Germany ISO of Operation Iraqi Freedom 06-08. While in Kuwait my company, A Company 1-77 AR, was attached to Task Force 1-18 Infantry. On 19 October 2006 we moved north from Camp Buehring, Kuwait to FOB Falcon, Baghdad, Iraq. I was the Executive Officer of A/1-77 Armor. For 15 months we owned the streets of the Rasheed district of southwest Baghdad. We redeployed to Schweinfurt on 21 November 2007.
