I am a Christian, dual-service military veteran, Writer, Author and Blogger. I am also a Resume Writer and Interview Career/Job Coach

aiding veterans in a successful transition from military to civilian life through

lifestyle, education and employment opportunities. I will often post about my life

in the military, life situations, mental health challenges, faith and inspiration,

random adventures, and resumes and job hunting by sharing through my life

experiences.

Even though I transitioned out of the military in 2005, I have been spending the

last 15 years transitioning and adjusting from one job to another, one living

situation to another, and from one life event to another, living in survival mode.

I’m a survivor and warrior against Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),

depression and anxiety and I refuse to let it dictate my life.

I’ve spent many years in depression, floating around life trying to figure out how

to adjust and settle down instead of being a nomad with no place to call home

and burying myself in work just to function and survive. In the military, I was

conditioned to work and focus on “mission first, everything else later.” I have

taken it into my adulthood as a link to some kind of normalcy and functionality for

living when, in reality, I was dying inside and struggling trying to find home, peace

and joy with no end in sight.

Today, I have chosen to proactively move forward and I endeavor to get past

“survival mode” into thriving mode, working towards my dreams and goals of the

abundant life that Jesus came to give (John 10:10) — whatever that means:

eternal joy, peace, prosperity and the pleasures of life, instead of sadness,

brokenness and heartbreak.

I invite you to join me in this journey of my life through my writing  and online adventures.
