Favorite memory from H.S: Graduating

What you did after High School: I moved to PA immediately after graduating and went to PennState for a year and was a manager at WallyMart. After that I spent about 6 years in the Marine Corps special operations community. When I got out I taught High Performance Driving and firearms in VA for a while, then I took a job with the Department of State teaching hostage rescue to anti-kidnap teams in Bogota, Colombia. I moved to Colorado shortly after returning from Colombia and started a firearms training & consulting company that is now one of the largest in the western US. I sold that company in January of 2006 although I still teach and write many of the courses. I worked in Pakistan for a bit before I went to Iraq running protective details for “VIPs” moving around aimlessly. Now, I am still in Iraq however I have switched agencies and I love what I do, although after 22 months in this place I am ready for a break.

College Attended: PennState, American Public University

Future Goals or anything you’d like to share: I will retire at the age of 35 and move to a hurricane-free beach where I will do nothing but spend time with my family, play volleyball, pick away at my guitar and drink tequila.
