I have accomplished many great things in life at an early age, and for this I truly am grateful. I am an Eagle Scout and received this highest rank of scouting at the age of thirteen. I served a voluntary church mission for two years in the beautiful country of Portugal, becoming fluent in Portuguese. I caught my first pigeon by hand when I was just five years old, while visting California; this is when I became fascinated with the birds.

I served six active (Honorable) years in the United States Air Force. During this time I earned three degrees, despite all the deployments to the Middle East after 9/11.

I hold an A.S. Degree in Managment from Park University, an A.A.S. Degree in Aerospace Technology from the CCAF, and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Park University (Missouri). I am currently working on a M.B.A. with an emphasis on International Business and Entrepreneurship. I am a firm believer in education; it truly does open wonderful doors and opportunity, especially when combined with my experiences in the business world. 

 We have an extensive backgroud in Data Base Marketing, Sales, Website Optimization, Analysis of Data systems, and operations. Our experience in the IT field has proven to be very valuable for all those that join our team. 

I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran who was blessed to make it home alive. It was these birds of peace that comforted and got me through all the difficult times in Iraq. While there, I also managed to write my business plan for United Doves and was able to take this vision and make it a reality after returning home from the war.

Even though I am service connected, I am living proof that if you want to be successful despite all the trials that may come in life, there is hope, and "where there is a will there is a way".

If you are a Veteran of the Armed Forces and would like to find out more about the EBV course, please watch this link on Youtube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv-m_v-7xO8.  It's a basic video of what the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans offers.
