Comments:

I Medically Retired from the US Army in 1992 after being wounded during Desert Storm. Initially, I became a Police Officer/Detective in NC. When that got boring, I later went into Security Contracting Overseas all PRIOR to 9-11-2001, in Colombia, South America (in the Amazon), then Kosovo before the Balkan War, then Albania, and then Bosnia with the United Nations. I came back stateside in 2000 and took a job in Washington DC as a Contractor and was there during and thru 9-11. In 2003, I joined the US Department of Homeland Security when it formed and stayed with them until Jan of 2012. I then went back to Overseas Security Contracting in Afghanistan. In 2014, I came back and decided to stay stateside.
