Hello, and welcome to my writing.com page. I was born and raised for the most part in Washington State, but did spend years in Alaska, and Arizona. When I graduated Highschool I felt the calling to join the Military, the Marine Corps to be exact after the September 11th attack on our country. I Serve for just under 13 years, Honorably. I was lucky to have lasted as long as I did, the Marine Corps has a way of taking its toll on one’s body. I have seen much of the world and am thankful for that opportunity. As I met the love of my life, and wife, in Japan. I am currently working on Chapter 3 for my first book.
