Matthew & Jennifer Calhoun, Owners
Matthew followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Army in 1994 as an officer of the Air Defense Artillery. His military career began in the First Cavalry Division at Ft. Hood, Tx. His next stop was Ft. Huachuca, AZ where he was retrained to become an Intelligence Officer. He then served as a Battalion Intelligence officer in the 25th Infantry Division and a Company Commander for an activity on Pearl Harbor. From there he moved to Portland, OR after he was assigned to a training and support organization for the Oregon Army National Guard (ORARNG). In 2005 he left active duty and joined the ORARNG and was deployed to Hurricane Katrina a few moths later. In 2006 he spent a year in Afghanistan and in 2010 he spent a year in Iraq. Matt retired in 2014 with 20 years of service.
