About Me
I'm just an average guy interested in news media. This is my first attempt to use Wiki as a medium to publish news print, so I look at it as a learning experience in using the internet to disseminate information.

Experience
I was an MOS 4341, Combat Corespondent, in the United States Marine Corps assigned to DIVPA MCRD Parris Island where I wrote news print for release over AFN radio and articles for Marine Corps News before my medical discharge at the rank of Lance Corporal. Currently I am a student at the University of South Alabama majoring in Communications continuing what i learned at DINFOS and working towards my BA in Communications.

Goals
My ultimate goal is to hone my writing skills as they pertain to news print in hopes of landing a plush writing job at some big city paper. Knowing that this probably won't happen, I hope that by covering events as a first-hand journalist I can use my original reporting to at least get a passing grade in my classes at school.
