Maryland
I live on Maryland's eastern shore with my partner and her family. Backyard garden, family dinners, weekly movie nights, and camping trips. I'm grateful to be part of this family.
Space and Places
Arkansas
Broke a lease and pivoted last-second to work as a volunteer farmhand through summer into late fall. Really great decision, actually. Made some good friends and memories.
Kansas
and over the years
Kansas was home base throughout a life of bouncing around Air Force bases. Lots of 4th of Julys and holidays with the cousins. In 2021, right as my enlistment contract ended, my mom had a stroke, so I moved back home to take care of her for a little over 2 years. So thankful for my family who all came together to get through this period of time.
Colorado
Four years at Peterson AFB beneath Pikes Peak. Wasn't allowed a phone or camera at my place of work so not too many photos to show aside from trips to the mountains.
California
Finished high school as a homeschooler and worked at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Ironically I was more outgoing during this time than in any public school I'd attended.
Ohio
Middle school and freshman year of highschool. Played soccer and tennis and spent more time at my best friend John Paul's house than my own. To this day I'm practically unbeatable at smash bros.
Italy
Attended local Italian school where I became fluent in Italian and made "molti amici"! Definitely my go-to fun fact for ice-breakers. Cousin Grant came to visit too! He definitely got the luckiest visit between his brothers.
Nevada
From only child to older brother! We used to go see the family friendly shows downtown. There was a pirate ship battle, animal exhibits, and my favorite was the erupting volcano. Cousin Dean came to visit, too!
Texas
Remember the Alamo!!... I don't know what else to put here. It was hot. Some kid named Austin came to my house and broke my bionicle toys.
Maryland
My favorite monument was always the Washington monument and my favorite place was the "grassy mall". Mom and I took the metro every day to get to my daycare, to the point that I would be the one showing my family visiting from Kansas how to get their tickets. "Keep walking, if you want to see the mall, keep walking..."
Kansas
A brief year in Wichita before next PCS orders came through. Could only find this one picture of me on a toy tricycle on the front porch of our apartment. In hindsight, this was the first of my many bicycle adventures.
Alabama
Not really sure what went on here, to be honest! I was like 2. And we were only here for like a year. Air Force stuff.
Germany
I was born at a very early age, on a US military base in Wurzburg, Germany.
