Born and raised on the border of South Carolina and Georgia, I enlisted in the US Navy at 18 and was stationed in Norfolk, VA. I served for 4 years before journeying out on my own to sunny Southern California, and then somehow managed to find my way back to Hampton Roads after several years. Utilizing my Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits, I enrolled at ODU at 27 years old to pursue a degree and career in Cybersecurity. Outside of school, I continue to work full time, and have worked for several The UPS Store franchises, spanning over 3 years and multiple States.
