Our Hero is married and the father of three children, (a 10 year old daughter, an 8 year old son and 2 year old daughter). He intends to return to college to pursue an Accounting degree. He is very thankful for the efforts of the Welcoming Home our Heroes organization as this assistance will enable him to focus his energies towards completing his education.
