He was with the legendary 3RD Armored Division as an M1A1 Abrams Armor crewman in Europe that helped guard the Fulda Gap, saw the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, and helped liberate the people of Kuwait. His career in the military also saw him in challenging positions that included Artillery Fire Support Officer, Senior Human Resources Officer, Company Commander, and Strength Manager for the United Forces Afghanistan. His career culminated with an assignment at the United States Military Academy, West Point where he served as an Instructor and Executive Officer in the Department of Military Science, and Protocol Officer.

His recent book, All Men Are Created…An American Story follows the trials and tribulations of white and black characters as they transition from the destructive fires of slavery. He put the challenges of the time into perspective, as each character comes to terms with their own demons and fears to become future leaders.
