I was born March 14, 1995 and lived in Kansas and Missouri until 1999
when we moved to Redding. I attended Enterprise High School and
graduated in 2013. During my senior year of high school, I enlisted
into the Marines Corps for 5 years active duty and spent my time
stationed  at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. During
my time in the Marines I worked as an Avionics Technician for C-130
Aircraft. I also held roles as a Marine Combat Instructor of Water
Survival, Combat Marksmanship Coach, funeral honors, and participated
in a few shooting competitions. I left the marine Corps as a Corporal
Sep of 2018. Upon leaving the Marines worked a few various jobs,
ultimately returning to Redding where I decided to become a group
fitness instructor and moved into personal training and nutrition,
which has been the best job I’ve had to date.
