What’s been happening:

After graduating December 2002, I spent the next few months at Naval Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, FL where I was commissioned as an Ensign in the US Navy. I then began two years of flight school where I spent some time in Corpus Christi, TX learning to fly the T-34 Mentor Airplane. After which I moved back to Pensacola to learn how to fly the TH-57 Jet Ranger Helicopter. In March of 2005 I received my Wings of Gold as a Naval Aviator. My next assignment was to fly the MH- 53E Sea Dragon assigned to HC-4 in Norfolk, VA. HC-4 was decommissioned by the Navy in 2007 leaving me reassigned to fly the MH-60S Knighthawk as a member of HSC-26 also in Norfolk. I am now a Lieutenant and have completed two deployments to Bahrain in the Middle East. Apart from work I am very active in my church and continue to enjoy playing volleyball, golf, running, surfing and pretty much anything else that will get me out of the house... and of course if I can help it I never miss a PSU football game.
