A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, I served as an officer in the United States Army, even as I struggled with serious addictions. With the love and support of my parents, I solidified my sobriety, and published my memoir chronicling my battles with substance abuse. Since then, I have continued with my writing, completing several screenplays and the follow-up recovery memoir, while also finding ways to speak on addiction and reach out to my local community. Ultimately, all my past experiences have helped lead me to where I am today: working as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco.
