About My Library
My library is located in half my basement and is inspired by my father’s study and the many Army plans vaults I served in over the years. I built the books shelves myself (and you can see my design flaws as they sag under the weight of my books)! But the fun part is the sliding white boards I installed over the bookshelves. I have six – two horizontal and four vertical – and they slide on top of each other for easy access to the books, or pull out for a wrap around planning space. My collection focuses on military history, theory, strategy, operational art, tactics and leadership.
About Me
I recently retired after serving 25 years and 7 months in the United States Army. My career began at West Point and upon graduation I became an infantry officer. I did two tours in Afghanistan and two tours in Iraq. During my career I earned a masters of Peace Operations from George Mason University and a masters of Military Arts and Science from the Army’s School of Advanced Military Studies. Now I am writing in my basement war room. Specifically I’m working on encoding the lessons of Afghanistan into a creative and fun game that will serve as a catalyst for effective learning. My current project is a video series that applies the teachings of the classic military philosophers to Afghanistan.
