I currently work for General Dynamics in Tampa, FL as a Lead Coldfusion Developer. Prior to that was Vurv Technology (formerly known as Recruitmax), a HR software development company in Jacksonville, FL as a software engineer. Prior to moving to Jacksonville, I worked at a major defense company as a Security Webmaster and possess a Top Secret Clearance. I earned a Bachelors Degree in M.I.S. at Florida State University in April 2001. I also have another Bachelors Degree in Clothing, Textiles, & Merchandising that I earned at FSU back in 1995. I am also a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Lambda Iota Chapter Scroll #643. I am a licenced Florida Real Estate Sales Associate as well.

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I went to Palmetto Sr. High and then to Miami-Dade Community College where I earned my AA Degree. After high school I joined the U.S. Army Reserves. I was a split-op, doing my basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina one summer and then my Advanced Individual Training (A.I.T.) at Fort Dix, New Jersey the next summer. I was a 63B10H8 (Light wheel vehicle mechanic). Between summers I went to community college. Then after my AA Degree, I took a few years off from school to work.

I went to Florida State University from 1992-1995 where I earned my first BS Degree in Merchandising. I went into the retail management side of the profession instead of becoming a rep or a buyer. After a few years of retail, I decided it was time for a better career that didn't involve low pay, low respect, and working holidays and weekends. I went back to FSU in early 1999 and started work on an M.I.S. degree. Although very difficult and a burden financially, it was well worth it. I finished my second BS Degree in April 2001 in M.I.S. (Management Information Systems). Going back to school helped me achieve the success I always wanted.

My hobbies and interests these days include: Weight training, running, music, concerts, movies, shooting pool and playing in an APA or BCA league, cards, photography, traveling, beach, swimming, diving, collectibles, real estate, shopping, bartending, web programming, cars, sports, and above all else FSU football.
