I am currently medically retired from the Marine Corps. I volunteer with the local Marine Corps League Detachment that I founded last year (2017) as a Countywide detachment. I am currently the Commandant (President/CEO) of this detachment (Ellis County Detachment 1452).

Worst Moment Losing my Platoon Commander; 1stLT Blue, Shaun and two of my Marines; LCpl Delatorre, Jesse and LCpl Strong, Johnny. ISO OIF 06-8, LT Blue and LCpl Delatorre were killed in an IED strike and LCpl Strong was killed by a sniper.
Other Memories Picked up GySgt in 2/7 and had some OUTSTANDING Marines in MAP 2 and CAAT 1.
