About
I earned an Associate's of Arts at community college in 2010-2012. I then changed my career aspirations and started a new program in fall of 2012. I worked 40-70 hours a week at multiple jobs for the next 4 years (2012-2016) to support wife and two children and put myself through full time college. There were weeks when I might sleep 5 hours total during this period of time but 3 weeks before graduation my seniors year, I was finally accepted into the National Honors Society. I now have a career with the federal government performing my dream job as a Fisheries Biologist.
