He moved to Roswell, N.M. at the age of 6 when his father fulfilled his commitment in the Navy. He left Roswell to join the Air Force in 1992 and in that same year married Veronica Hernandez, whom he met while attending Hagerman High School, and celebrated the birth of their daughter Acqtai Green. His marriage to Veronica sadly lasted for a short time but they remained friends. Troy served our country at Edwards Air Force base, CA. Japan Hurlburt Field Air Force base, FL. and a tour of duty in Afghanistan for just over ten years.

He completed his service as a Senior Airman in the Air Force in December, 2002.

Upon his separation from the military, Troy embarked on a new journey to become a skilled Information Technician while working for the government as a Water Treatment specialist in the city of San Antonio, TX. Pursuing the goal of becoming a highly skilled Information Technician was going to be challenging for Troy with him not having the backgroundtraining for it but that never deterred him, when he set a goal he always accomplish it. Utilizing all the benefits that he earned while serving his country he enrolled in school into the Information Technology major and obtained his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in that field, all of this while working a full time job. While in San Antonio, Troy met Sandra Rexroat and they soon were wed. Soon after that marriage Troy was blessed with his second daughter, Katie, in January of 2007. He was always loyal and patriotic to his country, evident by his active duty military service and his continued government service. He was a member of Community Bible Church and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Troy was a jack of all trades with such skills as door to door salesman, party clownballoon animal expert, businessman and athlete.
