Greetings! I am a first-year Johnson School student with the Class of 2010, but I recently deployed to Iraq for my third tour of service since I graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2001. I was born on Suwon Air Base in South Korea, and ever since, military service has been in my blood. Uncle Sam gave me the opportunity to live in many locations: Texas, Germany, Afghanistan (twice), Virginia, and New York. Now a member of the New York Air National Guard, I expect to return to Ithaca in time for the fall semester where I'll resume my studies with the Class of 2011. I am also a volunteer CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) that advocates for abused and neglected children. I am excited to share my experiences with you all!
