Jonesboro, Arkansas

Where did you serve and what did you do?

April 99-Oct 2012. I served 2.5 tours in Iraq. 19D Cav Scout, 2/7 CAV “Garry Owen”

How are you Still Serving?

I am a member of VFW, Veterans Re-entry Coalition, We Are The 22, Northeast Arkansas Veterans Action Counsel, Craighead County Veterans Monument Foundation, Veterans Villages (Jonesboro, ar) and I work as the Disabled Veteran Outreach Program specialist for Northeast Arkansas.

Why do you do it?

I love helping veterans. I was homeless, broke, a drunk and below rock bottom. A veteran service officer pulled me out of my misery and showed me how to live as a veteran. I went to college and vowed to pay it forward. This is how I am paying it forward.
