| Introduction | I joined the Army in 1998 as an infantryman (11C). I went through OSUT at Fort Benning, Georgia, and was then stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. In 2000, I was deployed to Kuwait for Operation Desert Spring. Upon returning five months later, I transitioned to the 6th MP Group (CID), where I did an 18-month internship as a Military Police Investigator. I was assigned shortly thereafter as a training NCO for MP's who were deploying to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom. I left active duty in June 2002, and joined the Utah Army National Guard. Initially I was with the REC unit of the 19th Special Forces, however, I then transitioned to become a 12B combat engineer (Explosives and Demolitions) with the 1457th Engineer Combat Battalion. I was deployed on February 8, 2003 for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I served in Baghdad and Dogwood until May 2004. I left the Army after receiving an honorable discharge and enrolled in college. I earned a BS in Computer Science, and now work for Oracle. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, with my wife, Christine, and four daughters. |
