I am a current member of the U.S. Air Force. I received a Masters degree in International Relations from Naval Post Graduate School. I speak read and write Serbian/Croatian, Spanish, and Italian. I am conversational in German. My writing skills have been developed through writing blogs, self-publishing a book about my time in Afghanistan and my spiritual growth, and through my Masters program. I've worked as an interpreter at times, for my boss, while serving as the Air Force Attache in Belgrade, Serbia. Additionally, I've done beta reading for an author friend to make the aviation scenes more realistic.
