I joined the United States Army Reserves in 1986 while attending Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC.  In 1988 I transitioned to Active Army and my first duty assignment was in Wetheim, GE with HHB, 72d Field Artillery Brigade.  In 1992, I was reassigned to Fort Hood, TX and served with HHD, 2-58th Aviation Regt, 6th Cavalry Brigade.  From there, in 1995, I went to Hawaii and Schofield Barracks with HHC, 1-27th Inf Regt, where I was given my first privilege to lead.  I serve as the Battalion Commo Chief and Commo Plt Sergeant.  In 1998 I was on my way to Fort Campbell, KY and the 101st Airborne Div Air Assault.  At Fort Campbell, I served with HSB, 2-320th Field Artillery, again as the Battalion Commo Chief and the Support Plt Sergeant.  In 2001 I was selected to serve as a Detailed Recruiter and assigned to Atlanta Recruiting Battalion with duty in Columbus, GA.  I served as a detailed recruiter and for the last 18 months, I served as the Assistant Station Commander.  In 2005 I was again assigned to Germany.  This time with the Joint Multinational Readiness Center at Hohenfels and served as the Operations Group S-6 NCOIC.  In 2006 I volunteered to deploy as a member of a National Police Transition Team and served in Baghdad with the 3rd Brigade, 1st Iraqi National Police Division as a Communications Advisor and returned to JMRC in 2007 to continue as the Operations Group S-6 NCOIC.  In 2008 I returned to the United States and Fort Stewart, GA and the 3rd Infantry Division.  I am currently deployed in support of Operation New Dawn with the 3rd Sustainment Brigade where I serve as the Brigade Signal Support Systems Chief.  Looking forward to sharing knowledge and mentoring the future of our Noncommissioned Officer's Corps.
