I was born and raised in Camden, New Jersey and partly raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the age of 19, I enlisted in the United States Navy. Since then, I also was a Military Police Officer with the Rhode Island Army National Guard; a Field Medical Technician with the Navy/Marine Corps Reserves in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 2003, I retired from The United States Navy after serving 20 years active duty as an Operations Specialist. I attended Sheldon Jackson College in Alaska and Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. I currently reside in Waukegan, Illinois and work as a School/Charter Bus driver.
