About

Grew up in Bulverde, Texas with my 3 brothers and have always been told by my teachers that I was a gifted student. My Dad developed ALS disease when I was maybe 6 years old and died when I was 10 so I have always tried to be as supportive to my mom as I can and to try to make her proud with my academic achievements. I admit I messed up in my freshman year of college and truly regret not having taken it more seriously, but my grades after that have improved significantly and I intend to keep it that way. Just about every incoming freshman I meet gets to hear my story so that they can learn how far back a mistake like slacking for that first year can set them. I enjoy helping others as part of my definition of success in life is the level to which you help others succeed in their dreams.
