I am not a politician! I have a very diverse background with knowledge in multiple fields. I am an aerospace engineer, water and wastewater engineer, IT and cyber security analyst, and an entrepreneur in the fields of real estate, hospitality and technology.  I am running for congress to use my knowledge to serve my country.

I grew up in Pine Hills, right here in Orlando. Some refer to it as "Crime Hills" due to its high crime rate and low income. I attended Carver Middle School and graduated from Evans High School, considered two of the worst academically rated schools in Orlando. I understand the need to reduce the crime rate, increase economic and help others succeed academically. Excelling from an academically low rated school to get to where I am today was a challenge. I have experiential solutions to help our education system and including our teachers.

I had my first job at 12 years-old picking up trash to help support my family. During my high school years, I worked repairing electronics as a technician. I worked throughout my college years as a computer IT Technician, and assisted UCF in the development of online program for college of Engineering. 

My experience includes:

·       2007 – Graduated from UCF with BS degree in Electrical Engineering

·       2007 - Field Engineer and Systems Engineer at Emerson Electric in the Water and Wastewater department.

·       2009 Kennedy Space Center (KSC) supporting NASA on the SLS program as an Electrical Engineer.

·       2011 - Emerson Electric as an Application System's Engineer for the oil and gas industry.

·       2012 - KSC support NASA as a Controls Automation Lab Manager, Software Engineer, IT, and Network Infrastructure and Cyber Security Analyst.

·       While at KSC - Construction and real estate investments. 

·       2015 Graduated with MBA at Strayer University 

·       2017 - System's Facility Engineer and Lab Development for the Fleet Ballistic Missile Program in Lockheed Martin supporting our Navy. 

·       2018 - started an engineering firm

·       2019 - Successfully restaurant business owner.

·       2020 - Investments in commercial properties.

·       2020- Supported the City of Titusville for two years as an environmental city council board advisor.

·       2020 - developed a mentorship program to help 80 (eighty) students with twenty projects across our country to build portfolio and experience for students during the Covid-19.

 

Now, I am running for congress because I believe that knowledge and success doesn't come from where you start, comes from the journey to reach your goal. With my diverse background and expertise, I know I can help our state, our country moves in the right direction.
