Petty Officer First Class, United States Navy, an aerographer's mate - a weather man.

From Morehead, Kentucky. He did basic training at Great Lakes, then the Naval Reserve Center at Lexington and the Naval Technical Training Unit at Keesler in Mississippi. He spent three years at Pearl Harbor before coming to Washington in November 2000.

His closest friend spoke at his funeral on the twenty-second of September and said he was intelligent, caring and funny - the kind of man you wish your daughter would marry.
