  Introduction I have had numerous jobs working for very different employers in completely disparate locations. I’ve worked on an electrical team that constructed a six-story Hyatt hotel, and I’ve worked a desk job as a financial analyst. But my first occupation is where I want to focus my energy here. I went to a camp on the coast of Maine for over ten years. The camp, located in Wiscasset, an hour north of Portland, is a beautiful place surrounded by tall pine forests and salt marshes.

 I am from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is home to the Amish and many other things. Rich farmland encircles a typical American suburbia and a vibrant city. I am going home to work after college and am extremely excited. I have a job in asset management and would like to go to business school later in life. I will work hard to get there. My parents have bestowed a strong optimism, hustle, and sense of curiosity upon me. While they are more reserved, I think I am slightly more out there. After nearly four years in university, I have developed some standards that I evaluate myself with every day. That said, most of these are not specific to me but would be viewed as generic by most. Even so, I strive to keep my brain and body in good working shape. Marcus Luttrell is a massive role model for me, and I deeply admire the no-quit attitude and humility he possesses.
