Authors biography

After high school, I got married and had two children shortly thereafter. As they say, that changes everything. With no clear long-term job prospects, I joined the U.S. Army in 1985. During my enlistment, I was fortunate enough to see much of Germany and Belgium, where I met and married my lovely wife in 1989.

My assignments as an officer included Platoon Leader, Protocol Officer, Student Services Officer, Environmental Officer, Officer Management, Chief of Staff Executive Officer, Senior Personnel Officer, and Promotions Officer.
