He received his MA in International Studies from George Washington University and is a graduate of the Army Command and Staff College. A student of military history, he became fascinated with Lazelle's career and the U.S. Army of the 1800s when he discovered that Lazelle's Civil War headquarters was located about a mile from his current home in Vienna, Virginia.
