About
I am currently enlisted in the United State Air Force. My path to personal success has not been linear. I had to leave my top choice school, Georgetown, due to financial reasons. However, I still dedicated my life to a pursuit of knowledge. My goal is to learn as much information I can, as I find it relevant to the quality of my work in anything. I will always be a student in that regard. I also wish use my knowledge for the betterment of those around me, in public service. For myself, I don't believe in giving up, and I extend that to the people I wish to serve.
