ABOUT ME:

I am a chronic puzzle-seeker and a lifelong learner.

I grew up in a small town in Tennessee, had an average childhood consisting of dividing my time between baseball, hunting, video games, and building websites.

As a teenager, I became obsessed with religion, and have been studying it ever since.

I joined the U.S. Navy in 2002, immediately out of high school.

I've traveled to 32 countries.

I'm passionate about leadership, creativity, individual autonomy, and personal responsiblity.

Nowadays, I spend my free time learning new skills, serving others, traveling, camping, hiking, pursuing career goals, organizing my thoughts and ideas, writing, listening to music, and playing the occasional video game.
