It was 32 years ago, that I joined the U.S. Army. Now, on March 31st, I retire from the military with a 22 year active duty retirement. It has been a great run and I am very thankful to have gained so much while serving my Country.
I started as an E1 private, Huey Crewchief at Fort Campbell, KY. I finished as a Lieutenant Colonel Aviator and Infantry Branch. I was so lucky to have flown UH-1's, AH-1 Cobra's and OH-58 Aeroscout Helicopters.
I served in Sinai, Egypt; Panama; Japan; Indonesia; Philippines; Thailand; Cambodia; Mongolia; Maldives; Sri Lanka; Kuwait and Iraq.
While serving the last few years I have volunteered for a not for profit firm: Earthquake Mega-Cities Initiative. While there I served in Mumbai, India; Aqaba, Jordan; and Pasig and Quezon Cities, Philippines. I will be starting a mission with them to Dhaka, Bangladesh very soon.
I am aggressively seeking my next career adventure and expect that it will most likely have disaster/emergency/risk reduction in its description or function. My ear is to the ground!
