Past
I was born and raised in Indiana,
where I went to school up through eighth grade. I next attended high school
in Hershey, PA, where
I played varsity football my senior year and graduated among the top of
my class. I earned a 4-year AFROTC scholarship to Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. At ERAU I majored in
Computer
Science and held many leadership positions in AFROTC.
After graduation, I received my commission as a second lieutenant in the
USAF. My first assignment was to earn my Master's Degree at the Air
Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. (If
you have copious amounts of free time or didn't learn enough here, I've
started writing autobiographically as much as I can here).

Present
I am currently stationed at Kirtland AFB (Albuquerque), NM.
I work for the Air Force Research Lab.
|
Future
I hope to start a family of my own, when the time is right.
I have a long-term goal of working at a visual effects studio such as Industrial
Light & Magic, Disney Imagineering, Pacific Data Images, or PIXAR.
