My life has been a mosaic of varied experiences. From working at petting zoos, training horses, to keeping an array of critters as pets, each creature has taught me something unique about life and love.
I've channeled my creativity into building my own furniture, cultivating gardens, and even tackling the electrical work in my home to install light switches and irrigation systems. My hands are as comfortable wrapped around a hammer as they are a pen.
My intellectual pursuits have led me to master multiple computer programming languages and dabble in numerous spoken languages from around the globe. My imagination is a fertile ground where stories of distant worlds, formidable monsters, and tales of resilience effortlessly sprout.
I relish solving puzzles and unraveling problems, constantly seeking new challenges to stretch the limits of my mind.
At my core, I am driven by a profound desire to help others. This calling led me to serve in the U.S. Army, taking me to Afghanistan in 2011. That year of service, while a defining chapter, is just one of many. For me, serving is not confined to the past; it is a continuous journey. It's woven into the fabric of who I am and everything I do. I live to serve, today and in all my tomorrows. It's not just what I do—it's what I breathe.
