Operation Iraqi Freedom is the official name given to military operations involving members of the U.S. Armed Forces and coalition forces participating in efforts to free and secure Iraq.

His wife, Hope, is the daughter of Robert Moxley of Montgomery.
The specialist graduated in the year 2000 from Elmore County High School, Eclectic.
