J.D. (Juris Doctor)

Years Served: 4
MOS: Engineer Equipment Mechanic

I’m a very proud veteran. I earned my nickname for Julius Caesar. I’m family-oriented, and I love to read books on things like astrophysics and astrobiology. I studied aeronautics as an undergraduate student, and I’ve also been to seminary for a theology degree.
There are so many things I want to do!
I have so many interests that it’s hard to pick just one or two. I’m considering work as an intellectual property or patent lawyer, but I’m also interested in the video game industry and in art law. I also would consider working as a JAG officer or as a U.S. attorney.
After I got out of the marines and finished my undergraduate degrees in aeronautics and theology, I pursued work in aviation and as a corporate security manager. However I always felt as though something was missing and I did not feel fulfilled.
My grandmother, Barbra, always told me I should be a lawyer throughout my life. Upon her death, I finally followed her advice and applied for law school. I am so happy I did as feel like I’m pursuing my calling here.
