I served four years in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantryman from 2007 to 2011. I served with 1 st Battalion 8 th Marine Regiment Charlie Company. I deployed to Iraq in 2009 and Afghanistan in 2010. I love this country and the men and women that put their lives on the line to defend her and the rights of her citizens. I currently work for the University of Virginia Tech as a data analyst technician. I am also the proud father of Eleanor, my daughter. She is an amazing little girl full of life and energy and the light of my life. She is by far the one thing I am most proud of in my life. We love to spend time hiking, hunting, camping and fishing together.

I wouldn’t be telling you the whole story about myself if I didn’t tell you about my savior Jesus Christ. I am a flawed human being and have made many mistakes in my life, but thank God, that’s not where my story ends. I am proud to serve a God that is gracious and forgiving.

I believe that we as human beings were created in His image and for the purpose to bring glory to Him in this life. There isn’t any mistake that He can’t fix and no mess that He can’t use. All we are required to do, is Accept that we can’t do this life on our own and that we need a savior.

Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came to this earth to die and pay the price for our sins and that He rose from the grave three days later and is still living today. Then Confess Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives and seek after Him and let Him lead us in everything that we do. It is as simple as A B C. Romans 3:23-25 and 1 John 1:8-9
