About
I am an undergraduate in Cybersecurity at Collin College in Wylie, Texas. I joined the Honor Society because the organization shared my passion for scholarship and leadership development and the fellowship of a fraternity of inclusive like-minded individuals. I am also involved in my community through my local church, Trail Life (a scouting organization for boys), American Heritage Girls, the Colson Fellows DFW Chapter, in addition to my involvement in professional and collegiate organizations. I am married and have four children under the age of twelve. I am always willing to help others in any way I can.
