I am a proud Eagle Scout

I am an Indiana Pacers fan

I am a graduate of Culver Military Academy

I completed American University's School of International Service Combined BA/MA Program in five years earning two international relations degrees with a focus on U.S. foreign policy and national security while working at the U.S. Department of the Treasury

I enjoy weight training and running my current training goals are three reps of squats and deadlifts each at 325 lbs and completing a 5k in 25 minutes.

I learned the hard way that it's best to try painting after having already mastered sketching

I enjoy cooking and gardening, and my wife thinks I am actually good at both

I am the proud "dog dad" of one rambunctious standard schnauzer
