I will be the point of contact for this program. Just a little bit about me. In my senior year of high school I signed up for the United Sates Marine Corps. On August 1st of 1994 I left to go to Parris Island, S.C. to become a Marine. I graduated on October 21st of 1994 and then went to Marine Combat Training on Camp Geiger, N.C. I was then sent to MOS school in 29 Palms California. After completing my training there I received orders to Camp Foster Okinawa Japan. I was stationed with 12th Marine Regiment which was an artillery unit. While there I took part in many exercises including one that took place in Camp Fuji Mainland Japan. After completing a year with the 12th Marine Regiment I was stationed with the Marine Wing Support Group 27, Marine Wing Support Squadron 271. I spent almost three years with that unit. While there I took part in cold weather training in Evenes Norway and also participated in 4 Combined Arms Exercises in 29 Palms California. After leaving the Marine Corps I returned to my hometown of Perth, NY. In September of 2001 I met my wife. We got married June 19th, 2005 and welcomed our daughter Olivia into the world on June 30th 2005. On May 1st of 2008 we completed our family when we welcomed our son Ian. We are now residing in Mayfield, NY.
