I was born and raised on a farm in Ohio, but wanted to live a life of adventure. I joined the United States Navy out of high school and spent

​

five years working on an aircraft carrier. I circled the entire world on a ship by the time I was 21 and had seen Thailand, Bahrain, Dubai,

​

Turkey, the Rock of Gibralter, many other places and people. However; my thirst for adventure is not gone, even after all of that. I plan to do

​

much more traveling during and after my college years. I enjoy the outdoors, playing with my dog, weapons of all kinds, and fitness.
