born 1970 in corpus christi texas, son of a single mother with 2 brothers and 3 sisters and many aunts and uncles on my mothers side due to not knowing any of my fathers history due to being killed at an early age. I grew up with my brothers and sisters for many years in many houses we lived in, sometimes for months or years, we never knew what was going to happen next week. Our mother would give up eating or at least made sure us 6 kids ate before she did. After getting to high school, i decided to drop out due to mothers illnesses and inability to work as before. my older brother later joined the military and older sister got married and i worked many different jobs manly labor jobs in order to make ends meet. one day i decided to join the navy and served in the united states navy as a yoeman. After 2.5 years my mother grew ill and i had to set aside my potential carrier on hold to help out at home and continued to work harder until deciding school was my best option. from the navy i became a security officer then paramedic which i have been for now greater than 15years plus, serving those who cant do for themselves or are sick and injured. My dreams are far from over and now i have a wonderful wife and 2 beautiful daughters that share my dreams and support all that i do, because i couldent do all of this without an education.
