I was born and raised in New England (Northeastern United States) and moved to upstate New York when I was 12 years old. After high school I joined the military and served for five years as an infantryman. In 2014 I decided to leave the service and pursue my education at Columbia University. During this period I interned at NASA, U.S. Congress, and became a member of the famous Explorers Club where I currently serve as one of their NGO representatives at the United Nations. I was also a very active on campus joining many clubs, a fraternity, and the Columbia Mens Ultimate frisbee team. In 2020 I graduated from Columbia with B.A.'s in both political science and history. I am currently a graduate student at American University studying international relations. I enjoy exploring the historically relevant and obscure, aviation (slowly working towards my private pilots license), photography, camping, climbing, sailing, and scuba diving.
