Background

After high school, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where I traveled around the world and developed a passion for learning new cultures, languages, and its people. After completing my enlistment and a year of junior college, I applied to and was accepted into LeTourneau’s flight and maintenance program. When I graduated, I worked for several companies over the years as an A&P Technician involved in various work from Aerial Firefighting to Avionics on Large Cabin Corporate Aircraft. Eventually our Lord led my family and I back here to LeTourneau in the Fall of 2022 to share what I have learned professionally and personally through serving our Lord.
