I was born December of 1963 in Rome, Georgia. I am the youngest of eight children. The experience of growing up in Rome, Georgia motivated me to want to see how life was in the rest of the country. Upon graduation from West Rome High School in 1982, I joined the United States Army as Radio Teletype Operator. I served in the Telecommunications career field of the United States Army for 20 years and retired in 2002.

    Currently, I work fulltime as a Security Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s main campus on the Emory University campus in Dekalb County. I attend Kennesaw State University on a fulltime basis in pursuit of a degree in Business Management. I am a true believer that "anything worth having is worth working for".
