"THE WORLD IS BIG AND I WANT TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT IT BEFORE IT GETS DARK" -JOHN MUIR
I spent 12 years in the Marine Corps and then transitioned to the private sector for business before I realized I wanted to do more than make money for other people. That led me to where I am today on this journey to become a teacher.
I am from Kansas City, Missouri originally, but being someone with an adventurous, easy going personality I left home at 18 for Bootcamp which eventually landed me here in sunny Southern California. I would have to say as a student I may have lacked some academic focus because I just wanted to be a Marine. Thankfully, I had some teachers that saw to it that I be prepared for whatever life may eventually have in store for me (be it college or not). I did end up going to college and received my undergrad and I hope to use my different life experiences to help my future students who may find themselves in similar crossroads as I found myself in.
