I am a Birmingham, AL native. I was a member of the University of Alabama (Birmingham) Baseball and Football team during college. During my college years I completed the Reserve Officers Training Course (ROTC), where I received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the US Army. I am currently serving as a logistics officer in the US Army. I plan to retire from the US Army in the summer of 2020. Following my retirement from the military, I will pursue a career as a professional bass fisherman. While serving as a logistics officer, I will continue to hone my business and fishing skills. I recently completed my MBA in Marketing, and Public Communications.
