[edit] Bio
I was born in Nashville TN in 1969. After I graduated high school, I went to college for some time. After that I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
Serving for half a decade, I lived, ate, and slept in "green." I went to Parris Island for boot camp. My MOS was 0341 -- mortar man--M252 Mortar. I spent one year in a Reconnaissance Company while on Camp Schwab, Okinawa and 4 years with a Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. My last billet was a LAV-m Vehicle Commander. My last rifle qualification designated me as a sharp shooter with a score of 244 on the known distance course. The Corps allowed me to travel extensively, by way of contract, to such countries as Okinawa, Japan, Persian Gulf Countries such as the United Arab of Emirates and small city states like Hong Kong while under British rule. I am certified in Marine Corps Institute counter-terrorism. While under General Charles C. Krulak's leadership, I participated in "Operation" Sea Dragon. The operation was to test new technologies for the USMC for 21st century threats.
Receiving an honorable discharge in 1997, I got acquainted with internet technologies while in southern California. Though not my first encounter with programming technologies, it was the “spark” to determine my conviction to academic goals that needed to be realized. I program in C++(C plus plus), PERL, PHP, Java and Visual Basic 6. I also use markup languages like HTML. Recently, I created a web application in PHP for a non-profit foundation.
In August 2005 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems, History, and English. In addition, I hold an Associates in Applied Science in Multimedia Design. Now, I'm in graduate school studying for a MSIS, Masters of Informations Systems.
