Day 080 -I already had a great Veterans Day, but after Thanksgiving this was in my apartment from the sweetest little girl I can think of. I’ve been thanked by many people, but this meant the most. I have some great neighbors, but I’d be lying if I said she wasn’t my favorite. (December 4, […]
Day 076 -One of my new favorite holiday traditions is writing cards to the troops. My friend Erin organizes a night every year, where a lot of fun people hang out at a restaurant and write cards that to troops that can’t be home for Christmas. As a service member myself, I can tell you […]

Day 321 -Today we said goodbye to my Uncle Earl. My brother Darren described him during the service as an honorable and faithful man, which I couldn’t have said better. He was a great man who had touched a lot of lives. Him and my Aunt Joanne were house parents for several years at an […]
Day 316 -Well after six and a half months in Africa my time is up. I’ve made a lot of great friends, did a lot of work that I’m very proud of, and hopefully left things better than I found them. You may recognize this shot if you’re my age or a little older from […]
Day 309 -I had the pleasure of designing half of this coin, and finally got one. It was quite an ordeal and unfortunately there are none left. As I said I designed half of the coin and the other half was done by Joe McKee. I tried to get you one buddy, but no luck. […]

Day 293 -In the military it is a tradition to give coins to show appreciation for a job well done. A few weeks ago I got this coin. It was the first one out of the box, and extra special since I was fortunate enough to design it. Special thanks to Col. Neil Glad for […]
Day 237 -A few years ago I went to journalism school for the military. There I met Airman Basic Rachael “Marti” Martinez. She was a crazy mess. Over the last couple of months we reunited in Africa and she’s turned into to a fine troop, and today she got promoted to Staff Sergeant. Congrats Marti. […]
Day 222 -Another big thanx to Tom and Jenn Pott for the gloves and balls. It is a huge stress relief a few min a day to get out have a catch. I also set up the newest addition to my bag, a GoPro. Thanks to the time-lapse feature I had a 140 images to […]
