After School, I worked for a little while then signed up in the Army Reserve. Then went active duty in the Air Force. Joined the Camden Police force in 1980 and worked there for four years til I was hired by the Arkansas State Police. Went to work for the Arkansas Dept. of Corrections to stay on the retirement for State employees and worked there at night while I went to college during the day to get my Degree. Finished my Degree in Aviation in 1994 and flew fire patrol for the Forestry service. Went to work in 1995 for Lone Star Airlines in Dallas til they went bankrupt. Got back in police work at Clark County til I was hired by Northwest Airlines in 2000. Flew passenger service over the eastern 3/4 of the United States and Canada. I returned to the Army in 1998 in as a Door Gunner/Crew Chief on Helicopters in an attempt to get a pilot slot. But, after you turn 40 it is almost impossible. so I transferred over to the Reserve and received a direct comission to 2nd Lieutenant. I was awarded Company Command at the Arkadelphia Army Reserve Unit til I was involuntarily placed on active duty in 2007. I am presently stationed at Ft Hood, TX where I am an Operations Battle Captain and while there I served in Iraq as a Convoy Commander providing Gun Truck Convoy Security to Sustainment Missions that originated in Kuwait and dispersed material to all parts of Iraq. After finishing up active duty I returned to the State Police and after working on the highway for a while I was transferred to the Aviation Division where I am a pilot and Tactical Flight Officer on a Bell 407 helicopter, Single-engine Cessna 206H and B200 King Air turbo-prop aircraft.
