 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:

My last position in the federal government was as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Liaison to INTERPOL Washington - U.S. National Central Bureau in Washington, D.C. I had worked in the Alien/Fugitive Division.

Since being retired from the federal government I have worked on the TogetherWeServed website creating memorial profiles of Marines that have fallen in battle and those that have deceased.  It is and has been a honor to do so.

   
Other Comments:

In December 2010, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma multiforme. an astrocytoma, brain tumor. The surgery was successful; however, the prognosis isn't the best. That said, I intend to beat the odds and with the good Lord looking over me and support of my angelic wife and loved ones...I will !!!

As of March 2012; I am still beating the odds with the grace of God and the family he has blessed me with. Overcome and adapt.

Continuing to march!!! As my dad would say..."No time to Half-Step..."

In July 2012, the enemy reared its head over the horizon. An aggressive chemotherapy protocol in August did not produce positive results and actually zapped my platlet count. So a second surgery is not an option at this time. So I am in a holding pattern.
