I was an intelligence analyst with six years of service in the United States Navy. Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, I enjoy white-water rafting, hiking, and reading (especially Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series).

I decided to become a Mt. Adams Institute VetsWork AmeriCorps intern to prepare myself for an undergraduate degree in environmental science and continue serving my country through community service. What excites me most about his position as a geologist/minerals administrator intern is the prospect of performing fieldwork in Washington and learning more about the principles of geology.
