I graduated from Purdue University in 2004, with a degree in photography and went on to take additional courses at Ivy Tech in the summer of 2006. At the tail end of 2006, I joined the Army reserves as a 25V, combat documentation and production specialist (Photography & Video). Since then, I’ve picked up an additional military occupational specialty (MOS) as a 25M, multimedia illustrator. At present, I’m still in the Army reserves and working towards my graduate degree at the Academy of Art University (AAU).
