I just wasn't feelin' it dawg...

About Me

I am a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University (and did it in three years!). In the spring of '04, I interned in a Senator's office in Washington D.C. After that, I spent the summer working on an Army post for the Military District of Washington. Both were unforgettable experiences, and I would recommend experiential learning for anyone.
