As a native
Californian, I grew up in
Patterson, CA which is a small city in
Stanislaus County. In my senior year of high school I moved to
the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. |

In 1989 I joined the
California Conservation Corps
(CCC) and was stationed in Lake Tahoe, CA. I
was a member of a crew that fought forest fires and performed reforestation
of areas damaged by wild fires. |

In late 1990 early
1991, I attended the Reserve Police Officer and Correctional Officer Academy
courses of the
Criminal Justice Training Center on the
Modesto Junior College campus. I completed the courses and was
Certified by the California Commission of Peace Officer Standards and
Training (POST). |

I had always believed
that one day I would serve my country through military service. Being that
Iraq had invaded Kuwait in Aug of 1990, I decided to enlist in the
U.S. Air
Force via the delayed enlistment program so that I could complete my law
enforcement and correctional training. I spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years of 1991 in
Basic Military Training. |

After graduating the
Air Force
Security Police (Security Forces) Academy with special honors such as the
Distinguished Honor
Graduate and the
Top Gun Award, I attend the Ground Combat Skills Course on
U.S. Army Fort Dix in New Jersey. I was the class leader of a class of just
over 130 Security Police Officers and was honored to receive the Commanders
Leadership Award. For more info on USAF
