About Me
My Journey through Computing
My Humble Beginnings
After graduating high school, I immediately transitioned into the workforce and began working for a local IT company. I also enrolled at BRCC.
The Love of Computers is Born
I started on the road to a bachelors degree by starting at a community college. I worked and studied as much as possible and managed my time accordingly. After I graduated with and Associates Degree in Computer Science, I transitioned to JMU.
Beginning of End
Finally I was on the home stretch. I continued to work at the local IT place while studying at JMU. I juggled school, work, and a side hustle of creating websites. After graduating at JMU with a Bachelors Degree (Major in Computer Science, Minor in Christian Studies, and a Certificate in Information Security) I will move into full time at the IT company.

My Education
Degrees and earned certificates from accredited colleges.
I have worked a number of jobs that have provided me with opportunities to learn.
I long to continuously learn from my past, present, and future experiences. While I am very proud of my degrees, I have probably learned more working in the real world than in a classroom. My goal is, while I am no longer pursuing a formal education, to purse knowledge in my field to the best of my ability.
