Upon graduation, he married his college sweetheart, Lori, and together they moved to Columbus, Georgia, where he began his career as a Lieutenant in the Army. As a Platoon Leader, he led his troops on missions in Baghdad and Fallujah during the first year of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Upon returning from war, he earned his MBA from Auburn University, where Lori was also studying to become a veterinarian.
