Stewart, GA before joining the National Guard and attending officer candidate school. Completed a 22 year career with my last major assignment as commander of forward operating base Monteith, Gnjilane, Kosovo where I was directly responsible for more than 400 soldiers, security forces and civilian contractors. This highly successful career capstone mission culminated with a significant reduction in ethnic violence and a successful transition of civil authority from the United Nations to the local political structure leading to an independent Kosovo within a year. I used this mission to successfully test and prove out innovative doctrinal changes to the Army's peace enforcement operations subsequently adopted in other theaters. Show less
