My hobbies are anything computers, recently photography, video production and web design.  You can see my current photo set here in my flickr account or on my photography page.

Due to my current location (Iraq), most of my photos have something to do with war and is as seen from a pilot’s point of view.

Still Want to know more?

I am currently a pilot flying the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior in the 1-6 Cavalry Squadron deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom 07′-08′.  Stationed out of the beautiful Fort Carson, Colorado.

As a Kiowa Pilot I am responsible for employing my aircraft as neccessary to find and elimante insurgents.   The  Kiowa Warrior is a two-place single engine armed reconnaissance helicopter. The Kiowa’s highly accurate navigation system permits precise target location that can be handed-off to other engagement systems. The OH-58D has an infrared thermal imaging capability and can display night vision goggle flight reference symbology. It’s laser designator/laser rangefinder can provide autonomous designation for laser-guided precision weapons.

The primary mission of the Kiowa Warrior is armed reconnaissance in air cavalry troops and light attack companies. In addition, the Kiowa Warrior may be called upon to participate in the following missions or tasks:

• Joint Air Attack (JAAT) operations

• Air combat

• Limited attack operations

• Artillery target designation.
