word and enrolled in Casper Community College, majoring in journalism. Although he found
that he had an aptitude for investigative reporting, he decided that his desires lied in other areas.

adult life and continues to pursue those endeavors to this day. During that time, he gained a
degree in Practical Theology.

auto body services.
