I grew up in Greensboro, NC, and like most southern guys I’m pretty laid back – except when it comes to Sports. My father and grandfather both attended the University of Tennessee, so as a youth I was thoroughly brainwashed to be a Big Orange fan. I ended up going to school there myself, and was fortunate enough to witness a National Championship during my sophomore year. Well, my first sophomore year anyway. 🙂

Apart from sports, my other interests include History, Politics, Astronomy, Video Games, and anything related to Technology. To be perfectly honest I’m a total nerd. I took apart my first computer when I was 9 years old (my uncle never really forgave me), and have been hooked ever since. This fascination with technology translated into a love of the sciences in college, but my inability to do Math beyond a 2nd grade level really put a damper on my career in Astrophysics.

Aside from that, I’m the proud owner of three of the world’s dumbest dogs – a claim that has been proven time and again by their utterly absurd eating habits. Let’s just say I’ve come home from work only to find they’ve eaten part of a metal chair. I suspect they are part Billy goat. Nevertheless, I love Emmy, Jack, and Reggie with all my heart.

FAITH HINKLEY
My name is FAITH HINKLEY, and I’m a service dog to Sgt. Terry White, PH IOF. You’ve probably seen me around the Market America office or at one of their events. I’m the pretty blonde with the big smile. The wonderful maCares team is pretty fond of me, and they’ve decided to devote Friday’s blog post to my stories, pearls of wisdom, and “tails” of others giving back to their communities. We’ll call it “Fridays with FAITH”.

What you may not know about me is that I’m named after someone special. The flag that represents this great country flies high on the flag pole for my namesake’s sacrifice. I am named in memory of US Army Sergeant Faith Hinkley, who died on August 7, 2010 in Iskandariya, Iraq. Faith was part of the 502nd Military Intelligence Battalion, 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Through me, Faith Hinkley’s legacy lives on, helping and healing another wounded soldier.

maCares loves making a difference in the lives of veterans and animals. Please consider donating or getting involved with maCares so they can continue supporting veterans and dogs like Terry and me, and honoring heroes like Faith Hinkley.
