Dwjuan completed his military commission in a special unit created to train and track three brigades of deploying soldiers to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Next to his days in the army defending the country, Dwjuan is proud of producing the documentary feature, The Rescuers. The Rescuers was nominated for a 2012 Image Award.
