I’m married with a bunch of kids and write novels based on my military and LE experience. I served in 2005 in Iraq on a convoy escort team, and in Afghanistan in 2009, where I worked with French and Afghan soldiers.

Proof of Our Resolve, my first book, is a novel about a Texas Army National Guard infantry platoon in Afghanistan. It is my attempt to convey some of what I and other Soldiers experienced through a fictional platform. The book’s characters are much like many Soldiers and Marines I have known and served with, the environment and operations are as close to real as I can make them.

My goal with all my writing is to bring reality to the reader; my stories have no Delta/SEAL/Ranger/Recon/Green Beret/Ninjas massacring millions of enemy with backflipping hatchet attacks. I’ve never met the perfect Soldier who never flinches, never makes mistakes, and never feels emotion, so I didn’t put him in this book. If you’d like to know about the on-the-ground experience of a Soldier in Afghanistan, please read this novel.
