MY BIOGRAPHY

I was born in the American Southwest in the 1970s, and I grew up in (mostly in the 1980s and 1990s) Dhahran, Saudi Arabia as an Aramco Expat. 

Every year, my family and I would travel to different parts of the United States as well as several foreign nations.

The result of these experiences is that I developed a deep-rooted patriotic love of the United States of America and a dynamic, diverse and multicultural worldview.

After 9th grade, I attended a private boarding school in Colorado for two years. While living in Colorado I became involved with the Amnesty International as well as State human rights groups, such as the Colorado Progressive Coalition and Colorado PFLAG.

Boarding school was also where I learned to ride a horse and where I read quite a few books on History, Law, Philosophy & Sociology.
