A Little About Me

I was born in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, and lived most of my life in Whitewater, Wisconsin. I have always been a big fan of using my hands and building things, nature, drawing, and electronics, all of which have vastly influenced my life and my choices. I graduated High School from Whitewater in early 2019, and had already begun my secondary level education attending UW-Stout by that same Fall.

From there, I realized that I may have jumped into things too quickly, and fearing my financial future, decided to persue bettering my body and mind, and joining the U.S. Army in January 2021. This new opportunity forced me to lose over 170lbs, as well as help open up career opportunities and give me a chance to finish college debt free, which brings me to now, where I hope to finish my education and start my life career.

Goals for 2022

  • Get settled and acquainted with my unit
  • Move into my apartment get settled into that
  • Figure out a long-term job alongside school and learn to budget well
