MyShortBIO.docx

I am currently a Chief Warrant Officer Three in the US Army and have been for the last 20 years and plan to continue for another five to seven years before I retire.  My profession in the military is that of a Field Artillery Targeting Technician.  Here’s a brief description, “The Field Artillery Warrant Officer advises the Commander and staff on all matters relative to the employment of target acquisition assets and the Army's targeting methodology. Synchronizes and coordinates the Army's targeting process and Joint Fires at all echelons. Plans, organizes, implements, monitors, and evaluates operations, threat environment, maintenance and advice on the technical/tactical employment of Target Acquisition sensors”

I’m currently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas working as the Field Artillery Intelligence Officer (FAIO). The home of dry lands, hot days, and very little rainfall, nicknamed The Sun City and that it is. I can’t complain much though, it is rated in the top 10 safest cities to live in. Being that I am married and have been for fourteen years with three beautiful daughters (eleven, six, and two) safety and location are key.  I am originally from the Virginia but consider North Carolina my home.    I have an AA in General Studies from American Military University and I’m currently a student at The University of Texas at El Paso pursuing a Bachelors in Liberal. My future job plan is to work as an Government employee in the Information Security realm specifically Cybersecurity.  With the job that I do now I know there is potential for me once I retire with the education (degree) to match my experience. I don’t have any interesting hobbies, I enjoy spending all the time I have with my family sense my job often keeps me away for months at a time. We love going to Dave and Busters and bowling, we are pretty competitive.
