  • Went away to college at Furman University in South Carolina
  • Met the love of my life, Amanda Thrasher, while in college
  • Graduated cum laude with a BA in History from Furman in 1999
  • Comissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Armor Branch
  • Served for five years in the Army, leaving as a captain in 2004
  • While stationed at Ft. Knox, Kentucky we adopted our dog Lucas

  • Found a wonderful day job working for IKEA, the Swedish Home Furnishing Company

Well, that's the nickel tour. I'll be adding more soon, in a nav bar to the right. I think I'll add a picture page, a page about the countries I've traveled to, and stuff about my work.
