Inimitable Gentleman

My current location is BaQubah Iraq and I have been here since August 2004.  The time here has been a unique experience and I would like to think of it as time well spent.  Since landing in my first camp I have sought further light through historical studies, scholastic endeavors, and guidance under mentorship.  I have, thus far, managed a 3.8 average at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, a Master Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate from Villanova University, launched three websites, and become a Certified Hypnotherapist.  

At 19 my beautiful daughter was born, my wife and I began officially living together, and I purchased a house. 

At 20 I involved myself in dirt track racing as a driver in the Thunderstock Class , eventually purchasing my own car. At 21 the car was sold and I purchased a street bike seeking a motorcycle racing license. 

By 21 I was over halfway through Central Texas College's Aviation Science program and had received my student pilot’s license while accumulating enough flight time for a Private Pilot's License. 

At 22 my family was experiencing difficult times and as the bread winner it was my responsibility to see we survived and advanced.  This need lead to my first business, Velocity Marketing. 

During the next year and a half I ran a marketing company that peaked at 55 outside sales representatives, 7 installers, and was producing 80+ Dish Network sales a week. 

Though I was successful in providing my family the necessities of life, the business was driving a wedge between my beautiful wife and I.  Just before turning 24 we decided to shut up shop and find another route to happiness. 

At the age of 24 I deployed to Kuwait, eventually finding myself in my current state and place, BaQubah Iraq.
