As a disabled veteran, my love for the military has led me to work as a civilian for the government.  I am a Systems Engineer on the Senior Staff with a Department of Defense contractor.  While working with my current company, I volunteered to deploy to Iraq for a year tour of duty.  I was in Baghdad for all of 2006 providing critical communications for many military units.  I love working with the soldiers!!

I began writing this book for my daughter so she would have something from me while I was away, in Iraq.
