From August 2005 to August 2006, I was a military journalist for the U.S. Army in Iraq. I’ve served in the same capacity in Kosovo, Macedonia and Korea. My military specialty allowed me to travel all over Iraq and interview thousands of soldiers, from private to general. I think since I’ve seen so much of the war in Iraq that I’m duty-bound to do what I can to make it right.

I’ve been married for 6 years now to Kristen, the most beautiful and intelligent woman I know. Together we have two beautiful children, Eliza (2) and Peter (2 months). I want them to know that her parents did all they could to make the world a better place.

In the Spring of 2007, Kristen, Eliza, and I went to Jerusalem for an internship with the Associated Press, and I’m currently working as a reporter for the Standard Examiner in Ogden, Utah.
