I was born on November 29, 1980 in San Salvador , El Salvador .


 

I graduated from Cabot High School in 1999. In 2001 I joined the United States Air force where I met my wife Ashley Elias (formerly Riley). While in the military I earned several Medals for my merits including the National Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Achievement Medals,  Soon after my separation from the military I moved to Cookeville, Tennessee with my wife where I began attending school at Tennessee Tech University . I am a member of the Tri-Beta club TTU Chapter. I am  projected to earn a Bachelors degree of science with a concentration in Health Science and a Minor in Psychology in December of 2010. After graduation, I plan on applying to Dental School in the near future. My interest in Dentistry arose from an interest in medicine, but after job shadowing physicians I found out that many, would not pursue the same career. Currently, I am undertaking on a research for Biology 3920 in which I plan to post project progress under Biology activities tab.
