I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. I attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and was a member of Army ROTC and Gamma Phi fraternity. After graduation and commissioning as a second lieutenant, I attended Fordham Law School in New York City, where I served on the editorial boards of both the Urban Law Journal and Moot Court.
I attended the Army's Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia. I had the honor of deploying with 3ID to Kuwait in January 2003 and crossed the berm into Iraq in March of that year.
After leaving the Army in 2006, I opened a law practice in Richmond Hill, Georgia, with fellow judge Advocate Chester J. Gregg. Our practice, Balbo & Gregg, focuses on Criminal Defense, Family Law, Personal Injury, and Immigration. We work hard for our clients at an affordable price.
I'm an avid fisherman and love Steeler football.

Not Guilty on all charges.
After a very lengthy hearing, the board found there was no basis for the separation and the matter was closed.
The case was dismissed at a preliminary hearing for lack of probable cause.
