From San Diego, CA

Originally from New York, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at 19 years old as a helicopter structural mechanic. I served 5 years on active duty, during which I did one forward deployment to Afghanistan working with numerous NATO forces. I also participated in RIMPAC (rim of the Pacific), the largest maritime exercise in the world, consisting of more than 25 countries working together to train in all phases of military operations at sea. After I fulfilled my contractual obligation in 2014, I enrolled in the San Diego Community College District in January of 2015 to pursue my associates in applied mathematics. I received my degree in May 2017 and transferred to the University of San Diego in the fall 2017 semester, where I am currently pursuing a BA/BS in mechanical engineering. Current member of the American Legion.
