Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Grew up in Northern California.
After graduating high school, he admits he lacked direction.
He attended community college for a brief time, managed a pizzeria, and even moved to San Francisco and started a limo company that ultimately failed.
When he was 20, he moved back home and decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy with the goal of using that as a means of getting into college.
Got a commission where he was paid to attend college while still enlisted in the Navy.
Attended Old Dominion University, where he earned his degree in criminal justice.
He has served in the U.S. Navy for almost 30 years and is currently a Captain in the Navy Warfare Development Command.
He is currently pursuing his master’s degree in executive leadership from Liberty University.
