Hi, I am a Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) in the world’s finest Navy getting ready to deploy to Djibouti for a year. Decided to start a blog to document my experience and to have an electronic diary of sorts to share with my children when they get older.

This deployment is all about the health and well-being of my wife and two children. I will do my best to provide for them from afar.

Passions are a plenty. I often find myself over extended in hobbies and finding it hard to find the time to truly focus on them and get proficient. Here are a few: Pearl Jam, Apple, Photography, bicycling, kayaking, running.

Welcome to MyNavyBlues! I hope you stay awhile and enjoy reading about my journey.
