My name is Thomas Chenoweth, and I was born and raised in Ashburn, Virginia. I graduated from Broad Run High School and Monroe Technology in 2017. In high school, I took accredited cybersecurity networking classes and became CompTIA A+ certified.

After high school, I worked at 20/20 Teknology as a network operations center contractor until the covid pandemic caused layoffs. After that, I worked at Lowes in online order fulfillment, then moved to working as a back-end clerk. Currently, I am on active duty in the United States Air Force and have a job in avionics, which involves fixing airplane systems, including guidance, control, communication, and navigation systems.
