I was born in the setting where the Wizard of Oz began, also known as Kansas. Wichita to be more accurate, but if you want me to be more percise, then my beginning would have landed me in the little town of Derby, Kansas. The adventure of my life had begun. From moving from school to school across Kansas, to junior high and high school in Colorado. I had finally found a place I could call home. Colorado Springs is where I grew up into and through out my teenage years. With curiosity of what a beach looked like, how the sand felt, and the wonders of the ocean, just in general all the mysteries of pictures that I have seen while growing up. I had always been in a land locked area and wanted to escape to many different daydreams that I had imagined. I never even had the chance to go on a real vacation when I was a kid, not even to Disneyland, but I heard so many different stories from my friends as I was growing up. That I figured out that if anything was going to happen, I would have to make that decision on my own. One year prior to graduating high school, I enlisted into the Navy. That year gave me enough time to graduate and be in tip top shape, and a few days later. June, 1997 I was off to boot camp I went. My adventure has taken off in full force. To see the world and all the mysteries of my childhood await to be conquered.
