Enrique Arcineiga Campos was a good friend of mine when I lived in Houston, Texas.

I spent two years in the Army during the mid-1980's, where I served in a Mechanized Infantry unit. It was during peace time during the Ronald Reagan administration, so my experiences were closer to Stripes than Platoon. I spent most of the time in Georgia (Fort Stewart and Fort Benning) but did get to take a couple of side trips to the Mojave desert of California. Read on to see a few photos that I took during my time in the Army.

Some older projects I have worked on,.newspapers articles I have written and Black & White photos I have taken are listed below. Click on "read more" to see them:

Short version: Except for the two years I spent in Georgia in the US Army, I have lived in Texas my entire life. I was born and raised in Alice Texas and moved to Houston Texas in order to go to college. I eventually moved back to South Texas and later moved to San Antonio, Texas. I am currently looking for an IT job in the San Antonio/Austin area and am in the process of completing a B.S. degree in Computer Information Systems and Security at Our Lady of the Lake University.
