Hobbies and Interest
I like to do a lot of extracirricular activities. Staying active in life is what I call living. I like to shoot pool, paint, bowl, draw, read, paint and for fun I even work math problems sometimes. I attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio where I majored in Technical Theater, Drama, and Minored in Art. This is how I became a Renassiance Man:)

U.S. Army Veteran
After graduating for High School in 1995, I was unsure of what I wanted to do. I worked a few different jobs and hung out a little, then I decided to join the Army in 1997.
I served honorably from 2/97-10/01 and achieved the rank of Sergeant. Assignments include Secretary of the General Staff at Fort Hood currently Fort Cavazos, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization where I had the honor of serving on a peacekeeping mission in Kosovo in 1999. I cherish my time in the Service it gave me direction and a sense of confidence as well as purpose.
