I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas on the East-side. I am a graduated in 1992 from Brackenridge High School. I then joined the United States Army in 1997 and deployed to Bosnia/ Kosovo in 1999 and to Iraq in 2003.

After leaving the Army in 2006, I went to Palo Alto College to get my Associates in History where I graduated in 2008. I received my BA in History from Texas A & M University- San Antonio in 2010 and then my Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2012.

I am married and have five children. My personal mission and belief come from the military. “All students are entitled to outstanding leadership, and I will provide that leadership.”
