Early life
About me: Originally from a small town in Arkansas.  I left home just after my 18th birthday and joined the US Air Force. They thought I was mechanically inclined because I could tell the difference between a screwdriver and a hammer.  So I spent the next 4 years as a Flight Mechanic.  After my stint in the military, I went to a trade school just outside Washington DC to learn Computer Programming. I completed my Undergraduate work at Ashford University in Iowa with a major in Organizational Management and went on to attain a Master's Degree in Cyber-Security and Computer Forensics at Bellevue University in Nebraska.
