About
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I'm the second oldest out of five siblings. Once I finished high school I decided to join the United States Marine Corps and served four years of active duty. After active duty I started school right away at a local community college in my hometown. Than later transferred to Lamar University as a Junior in May 2013. I completed my first semester and was than given the opportunity to work for MeadWestVaco as Process Engineer Co-op during the Spring and Summer semesters. The experience has been great and will go back to school full time in the Fall.
