Bio

I am currently working in Australia as a civilian contractor supporting the U.S. Government as a Security Duty Officer. I retired from the U.S. Army with 20 years as an Infantry Senior Non-Commissioned Officer. I plan to continue to work overseas for the foreseeable future or until it stops being fun.
