Full Biography

I'm a family oriented person. So much that I've shaped my goals around what I think puts my family in the best position in the future. I've discovered that in my particular field certifications matter more than college degrees to a certain extent. A college degree will give me more options in my field. With that being said I plan on obtaining a MBA and continuing to obtain more certifications. My theory is that with the combination of experience, certifications, and college education I give myself several options and career paths to choose in the future.
