Lewis Washington. On his 37th jump, Stewart was disabled in a rough terrain parachuting accident during a night jump into a forest. He was honorably discharged as a disabled veteran.
After the Army, Stewart worked as a Nevada State certified firearms instructor and as a professional sculptor, sculpting several life size pieces for Las Vegas hotels. Stewart attended college at the University of Southern Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), graduating summa cum laude with departmental honors. While attending college, Stewart taught rape prevention and self defense for the UNLV Jeane Nidetch Womens' Center.
