I joined the ARMY in 2000, half way through my senior year. Sill in Lawton, Ok. Bliss in El Paso, Tx for my Advanced Individual Training, graduating as the Honor Grad. I stayed at Ft. Bliss for my first duty station. There I trained as a Launcher Dog with the PATRIOT Missile System. Then, the day we all remember. 9-11-01. We soon had orders to deploy overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freed
om and Operation Iraqi Freedom. As 3rd Infantry Division breached Baghdad, the air threat was diminishing. We then loaded all our equipment and emplaced in Kuwait. Once Baghdad was secure, the air threat was eliminated. We loaded our equipment to send back to the states and stayed in country to pull multiple details. Due to the needs of the government I was stop-lossed. After fulfilling my full term, I was Honorably Discharged. Since then, I have worked in many industries including; asbestos abatement/mold remediation, stucco remediation, and concrete special projects. I am honored to use my military and civilian experience to serve my local community with J Dog. Nothing makes me prouder then to offer a home to my fellow Veterans. Now, my family consists of my amazing wife Katie and my two boys, Nathan 14 and Lucas 7. J Dog has given me the ability to provide for my family and give back to my community, while supporting local Veterans. I look forward to serving you.
