I grew up with three siblings, all older than me. I grew up learning that hard work pays off. After high school, I attended a 4-year university majoring in Forensic Chemistry. I ended up taking a job in automotive plating, eventually progressing into the R&D side of it. Realizing that this job wasn't my dream, I have decided to take a year off of work in the U.S. and teach English in China. After my contract is up, I may return to the U.S. or continue trekking around the world.
