Copious

From the moment I graduated high school in 1993, I always believed in living life with purpose, adventure, and loyalty. Early on, I worked concert security for bands on tour, an experience that gave me the chance to meet countless singers and artists while learning how to handle high-pressure environments and large crowds.

In December of 1996, I joined the United States Navy and proudly served my country until 2000. I worked as Aviation Ordnance aboard the USS Wasp, spending countless hours on the flight deck in one of the most demanding environments in the military. During my service, I traveled across the world and took part in operations involving Bosnia and Kosovo, along with numerous show-of-force campaigns. Those years taught me discipline, teamwork, leadership, and the importance of staying calm under pressure.

After my military career, I worked for Norton Abrasives before making another major career move in 2007 by entering the field of corrections, where I continue to work today. Corrections strengthened my ability to lead, communicate, and work with people from all walks of life while maintaining professionalism and accountability.

Following my divorce, gaming became more than just a hobby — it became a passion and an escape that introduced me to incredible communities and lifelong friendships. Survival games quickly became my favorite genre, combining strategy, teamwork, intensity, and perseverance.

That journey eventually led me to The Exiled on August 16th, 2024. From day one, I loved every aspect of the servers and dedicated myself fully to the community. I played hard and immersed myself in everything The Exiled had to offer until January of 2025, when I officially became an admin. Not long after, I advanced through the ranks to Lead Admin and eventually Supervisor.

Today, I continue serving the community with the same dedication and commitment that has guided me throughout my life. I am incredibly thankful for the trust this community has placed in me to help provide the best gaming experience possible for every member. Along the way, I’ve met amazing people who have become more than friends — they’ve become family.

The Exiled is more than just a gaming community to me. It’s a place built on loyalty, teamwork, friendship, and shared experiences, and I’m proud to be part of helping it grow every single day.
