I am a retired combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. I am currently attending EFSC in Palm Bay, Florida, and obtained my Associate in Arts Degree. I am now working towards my Bachelor of Science with my ultimate job of becoming a Prosthetist. My hobbies are: my service dog Cali Bear who helps me with mobility and pts, lifting weights at Planet Fitness, swimming at Esporta, rescuing animals, working on my truck, gardening, oceanography, cheering on my Kansas Jayhawks, KC Chiefs, and KC Royals, sled hockey and seated shotput throwing. My goal in 2025 is to make the US Paralympic World's team in seated shotput and javelin. It has always been my dream (after realizing life did not stop after being injured) to be able to wear the letters USA and represent my country in a different uniform.
