A Brief History of me.

It all started in 2002. I was born and the world's population grew by at least one person that day.

I grew up in the suburbs of Harrisburg, PA. I spent a majority of my youth playing with Legos or playing soccer.

In high school, I focused a majority of my time on soccer and wrestling. These sports and the culture they maintained at my school taught me a lot about myself, how to be a leader, and more importantly, a good person.

In high school, I also began working my first part-time job. I was an Animal Technician at Molly's Place Animal Adoption Center. That's just a fancy name given to anyone who supervised the animals. At Molly's Place, I met Kasper and a few months later, I took him home. In the future, I will add pictures of him and me at Molly's when I find them.

When I wasn't working or playing sports, I was often playing video games. Here is where I began thinking about and messing around with code. Specifically, it was my favorite game of all time... Europa Universalis 4 (EU4). This game taught me how code could be manipulated to make unintended things happen. Maybe a divide by zero error or just something the developers did not consider. Going through the source code inspired me to start coding myself. All this right as I reached my senior year of high school.

I began looking at schools to attend college at. I chose VMI because I thought the place looked like a castle and they told me it would be hard. Then the army told me it was a good idea, so I went. Having liked the idea of coding, I chose Computer Science as my major. At VMI, I discovered the vast world of Cyber Security. I was extremely interested in penetration testing and eventually began doing CTFs and other hacking-related activities in my free time. I worked many different jobs at VMI and if you would like to learn more about some of the projects I worked on then click here.

Since May of 2024, I have graduated VMI and have begun my journey as a hopeful professional within the world of Cyber Security. If you are an employer and would like to contact me, click here. to be redirected to my contact info section.
