Submitted Biography: "After earning my Bachelor's of Science degree in Civil Engineering at Arizona State University I commissioned in the United States Marine Corps and was active duty for 11 years, deploying to Afghanistan, Romania, and Kuwait/Iraq. In 2017 I got off active duty and joined the USMCR to continue serving my country as a Reserve Officer. I went back to college to obtain my real estate license to educate veterans about their home buying benefits and help families in Southern California realize their dream of owning a home. I also started working for SkyWest Airlines as a First Officer. I continue working these three jobs while also spending time growing my non-profit, The Co-Pilot Foundation, which I established to provide mentor-ship and support to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
