I spent three semester at SAC and then joined the U.S. Navy as an Intelligence Specialist. I spent 9 1/2 years in the Navy, onboards ships out of San Diego, CA deployed throughout the Western Pacific, shore duty in Hawaii and homeported out of Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, PR and deploying to South America. I left the servcie and returned to Texas with a wife and two small kids and worked various jobs and attended SWT. Worked for the State and Hays County until hired by the federal government in the Washington DC area and relocated here in 2003. I have been in the area for most of the six years, except a brief 13 month stay in Las Cruces, NM. Now I live the dream sitting in traffic everyday commuting to the Washington DC metro area.
