I was in the Army eight years with the engineering branch building permanent construction all over the world: Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, South America. Roads, bridges, airfields, buildings—we had all the components of construction to do it. I went to VMI which had a military obligation after graduation. I had a three-year active, five-year reserve obligation. I did all eight years active because I was enjoying it and got out when we started to have kids. I got out as a captain. I decided to come back home and worked for a general contractor as a project manager. I’ve been with the division, it’s going on 17 years. I just like helping people and being part of that support piece that helps take care of the kids and gives them what they need to be successful. My mission is to support the principals. It’s what I like to do.
