Upon graduation, he enlisted in the Army, and after Basic Training was assigned to the elite Army 82nd Airborne Division, I learned how to be a professional soldier. Distinguishing himself as a soldier as a Master Parachutist Badge (> 100 Jumps), he was selected for Officer's Candidate School (OCS).

Once he was promoted to Major, he was sent to Graduate School, first completing the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, graduating with Honors, and then on to Baylor University School of Graduate Studies.
