Telling veterans' stories is a life-long passion

When I was a child, my brother and I spent hours playing in the woods pretending we were G.I. Joe characters.

The goal of our games was to free the world from evil-doers.

Our wild imaginations led my brother to a love of history. And I developed a desire to learn about war from the men and women who were there.

I have held stories of veterans close to my heart since those days of playing in the woods.

My dad is a Vietnam Veteran, his father was a Prisoner of War during World War II, and my other grandfather also served in World War II. I loved learning about their experiences as I grew up.

However, it wasn't until I visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. that I discovered working with veterans was my passion.
