Yes

I have been serving in the United States Navy since November 9, 1989. I been stationed in Norfolk Virginia, Jacksonville Florida, and Miami Florida over a 20 year career. I have visited nearly every country in South America, with stops in the Spain, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Bahrain. I've served in both wars for our generation, and deployed to numerous sights around the world. I'm currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan, where I'm serving as PATRECONFORSEVENTH FLEET Career Assignment Officer. I will retire this November with 20 years of faithful service, and continue to live in Okinawa Japan after I retire. Okinawa is a beautiful Island that has very little crime, great schools, and many family adventures to get into. I love it! I plan on returning to Mt. Pleasant for our 20 year reunion, and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you.

My memories of high school are many, but what stands out the most was the time that I spent playing football with all the guys like Sam Tudman, Jim Tudman, Tony Miller, Reginald Lewis, Bobby Pilgrim, Calbert Cannon, Jerry Warren, Keith Logan, and Troy LaRue. These guys were my brothers, we sweat blood and tears together as a family in the name of TIGER PRIDE...We didn't win as many games as we wanted, but I got my true taste of teamwork from all these guys mentioned.
