Welcome to My Journey

“Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing” - John C. Maxwell

My passion for technology began early in my career at AOL (America Online—I know, it sounds dated!). Working in the tech support center in Tampa, FL, I saw firsthand how technology could connect people and fuel personal growth. This passion only grew during my military service in the United States Air Force, where I had the opportunity to work on various aircraft, including KC-135s, F-16s, F-15s, and HH-60s, using Non-Destructive Testing technologies and Microsoft tools. These experiences were essential for effective communication and productivity, allowing me to adapt to diverse, high-pressure environments around the world.

My journey is filled with stories that have shaped who I am today.

Today, I see the perfect opportunity to merge my military-honed work ethic with my love for technology, aligning seamlessly with my commitment to continuous learning and growth.
