: About Me

I am 31 years young with a passion for writing and reading. I graduated the University of Phoenix with an Associate of Arts degree in Business in August 2008 with a GPA of 3.69. I am enrolled at University of Phoenix where I am currently completing the necessary coursework to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Business-Information Systems in August 2010. I am maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.73 with hopes of graduating with a GPA of 3.85 and honors.

I graduated from Brunswick High school in Brunswick, GA in 1996. I worked summer jobs in construction until I graduated and continued to work in the construction full-time after graduating high school as a laborer, then a plasterer, and finally a crew foreman for Padget Tabby and Stucco, Inc. On April 01, 2004 I began a masonry contracting business that I continued to operate for several years.

The slow down in the residential construction market in Brunswick, GA late in 2007 made it difficult to find steady work so I had accepted a position as an automotive sales consultant for King's Colonial Ford, Inc. late in October of 2007. I officially discontinue operations of the masonry company on December 31, 2007.

Ceasing operations for the masonry business allowed me to focus all of my attention on the sales consultant position at King's Colonial Ford, Inc. where Iwas the top salesperson through October of 2009. I was also able to focus more of my time and attention on meeting the requirements necessary to for my studies. Since the economic slow down began to impact automotive sales in 2008 and into 2009, I chose to get out of the automotive business and devote my time to my studies and freelance writing.
