I am a phoenix. 🔥🪶At least, that's what I would be, if humans were mythological creatures. As you can tell from my work experience, I've "started over" multiple times in my life. My curious nature and sense of adventure have led me to explore numerous career paths.Through my journey so far, I've learned a lot about myself, the world, and the people in it. The world is full of amazing experiences and opportunities. I am passionate about technology, helping people, and creating solutions. I love learning and engaging in life with a positive, can-do attitude.Now, I'm diving into the world of data science. This field's intriguing blend of technology, math, science, and business complements my natural passions. Right now, I'm focusing on Information Technology (IT) Support, but this is only the beginning. I'm excited to grow in this field, connect with others who share my vision, and contribute in a meaningful way!As a free-spirited nerd, I'm also interested in entrepreneurship, space, and robots. I co-founded GearForce Digital in 2024 to help companies reach more ideal customers. While I didn't end up staying with the company, I'm eternally grateful for the experience I had and the lessons I learned. Ultimately, I would love to contribute to groundbreaking advancements in machine learning.As much as I value freedom and independence, I am an empathetic team player. My time in the Army taught me the value of team-oriented self-discipline. It also taught me how much I love flying, which brings me back to the phoenix analogy...Phoenixes don't die at the end of their path, they ignite in a flourish and then keep going. They are quick to get air under their wings and take off, even with very heavy loads. While they do cry, they use their tears to heal those around them.I am a human, and I will die someday (Momento Mori). But the spirit of the phoenix inspires me to pick up and keep going. To be relentless in my pursuit of adventure, excellence, and impact. To remain forward-focused, adaptable, and capable while engaging in the present moment. To leave the world a better place than I found it.But most of all, to inspire others to do the same.We live in an amazing universe, and I'm excited to be here with you.
