He later became the leader of his CyberPatriot Platinum team. From there, he then went on to become a two times SkillsUSA Regional and States Gold Medalist and National Competitor. While he was a senior in High School, he started working as a systems administrator within the DoD.

He finds joy in designing circuits and building electronic solutions for problems he would rather automate.
