My military service started in late 2010 when I had a desire to join the ARMY. I had just sold my second practice and finally had the chance to join the military. I had always felt it was important to want to be part of something bigger than myself. So, after all the paperwork settled I was sworn in as a Captain in the Army Reserves in January of 2011.

Since then I have had some amazing experiences. After completing Officers Basic Leadership Course which was held at Fort Sam Houston, I returned to the 7222nd Medical Support Unit in Tampa, where I was given a lot of opportunities to learn. My first job with the Unit was as the training officer of the Company. I held that job along with some others until 2013 when I volunteered to fill a vacant position for a dental officer in AFGHANISTAN. While I was deployed, I worked in a ROLE 3 hospital where we saw all different kinds of injuries. The team of Doctors I worked with were all highly skilled and more importantly great people.

When I returned to the 7222nd I was made acting Executive Officer to help the commander with all aspects of the company. I am extremely grateful to COL Haley for all he taught me while working under his command. After a year, I was recommend by my Battalion Commander to take full command of the 7222nd. I was able to serve as Commander of the 7222nd for the following year and learned more than I ever thought I would.

After my command time was over, my Battalion Commander once again asked if I would move to another unit and act as their Executive Officer. I was very fortunate to be able to be a part of the 7235th MSU in Orlando. I served there for a little over 18 months and got my current position as a Dental Officer at the Battalion level. I am truly blessed with all the opportunities I have been given, and I am anxious and excited about what the future will hold.

I have been lucky enough in my short army career to have completed both the Captains Career Course and the prestigious Command and General Staff Officer College. Many officers go their entire career and are never able to complete these courses, so I truly am blessed.

While commuting to Fort Gordon, GA every month does present some issues with the office. I am extremely fortunate to have an amazing team behind me to help me realize my dreams. I am always thankful as well to all my patients that also understand and recognize the importance my service to our country is. Without that understanding I would not be able to do what I do.
