Life & Career Milestones
I've taken a lot of twists and turns
1.
I left for the Navy immediately after high school.
2.
One day my master chief called me to say a film was shooting nearby and they needed military extras.
3.
I did that and it heated up my passion for the entertainment industry; I did a few more films.
4.
Because of that, I was SO ready to get out of the military that I think I left prematurely.
5.
I often think about what would've happened if I had taken different orders and stayed in longer.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You can do anything.
How I responded:
My whole life, everyone has been nothing but supportive: my family, my friends, my fellow vets have all supported me in every pursuit. I'm so grateful for that, and I'm grateful that I came home from war to nothing but warm embraces. However, it seems backwards, but I think that it ended up being a negative thing. At some point, I really could've used some tough love, or a kick in the butt. You can't have everything be all positive, all the time, because that's just not realistic.
