I joined the Army in 1992 and retired in 2012 from Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. I served as a Saxophonist in the Army Band and deployed three times to Iraq. I grew up in Dallas, TX fishing local lakes and ponds. My biggest bass came while I was stationed at 3ID Ft. Stewart, Ga. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Louisville in Jazz Studies and fished on the college team for four years. I am currently working for SMI Marine in Louisville, KY. in The Service Department. I truly love the outdoors and appreciate all of our Veterans and First Responders. I am looking forward to representing the state of Kentucky in the AFFL through fellowship and camaraderie.
