My childhood years were spent growing up in the adversities of South Central Los Angeles, a few foster care homes and the public schools of California. I graduated from Susan Miller Dorsey High school, eventually enlisting into the United States Navy. I am a retired veteran of the Armed Services, completing 20 years of honorable service. My active duty service includes several combat related tours in the Middle East and travel to over 60 countries. I am fortunate to have had a successful career and make a difference in the lives of people from all walks of life, all over the world. I graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and relocated to Seattle, Washington. I am currently employed with Boeing Company as a Flight Test Engineer. l continue to support a variety of non-profit organizations around the world through volunteering, mentoring and generous donations that includes clothing, basic hygiene supplies, sponsorships and innovative fundraising concepts. I am certainly not truly retired. I will continue in my commitment to our Armed Forces service members, families and our community.
