I was born in San Diego, California. My Father was in the Navy at the time and we lived close to the naval hospital there. When I was 7 I learned we were going to move a place in the middle of the country, a city called St. Louis, in Missouri. Needless to say I was not happy with the move but it happened, and I have called the "Gateway to the West" home since.
After moving to St. Louis, I begin grade school at Saint Monica Catholic School, which is shown above. I spent most of my formative years at this school, then went to a jesuit high school, DeSmet, which is shown below. I decided to stay in St. Louis for college as well, attending Saint Louis University.
After graduating college, I did not have a career path laid out for me and spent awhile trying to figure out what would make me happy. I bounced around a few things, and most recently I've worked at Walgreens® as a pharmacy technician. Since then I have taken a keen interest in coding and programming and have dedicated a lot of my time dedicated to learning these skills.
