I'm 24-years old and recently finished my time in the United States Army which was from 2013-2018.

Who Am I?

From having played golf as my very first sport at the tender age of five and playing one instrument in every musical family to being an honor roll student until my sophomore year in high school, you would think that I was a terribly gifted child. In actuality, I was the most confused and directionless individual you ever met. Over the years, I never understood why many people were jealous of my many abilities. In retrospect, I actually wished to be them.
