He spent thirty-five years’ combined active duty and reserve in the air force. Retiring as a chief master sergeant, he served during Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Enduring Freedom, holding multiple specialties. He received a bronze star for actions while serving in Baghdad in 2005.
Troy retired from a career at Tampa Fire Rescue as a district chief. During his extensive multiple careers, he was a law enforcement officer, SWAT medic, helicopter medic, airborne rescue specialist, and hazardous-materials / weapons-of-mass-destruction technician. Over the span of forty years, he has been a part of operations and training for USSOCOM, CENTCOM, the FBI, and many private, local, state, federal, and military response teams.
Having witnessed and experienced firsthand the tragedies of war, human suffering, and its toll on humanity, he carries a deep understanding of those emotional demons. His love of dogs and insight into their being stem from many years of close work and association with them. Along with his loving wife, Jennifer, and their devoted Belgian Malinois, Emma, they live in Tampa, Florida.view less
