Let me start off by saying, I love to read. My dream job would be a place where I could read all day. It doesn't matter the subject, it's just the joy of reading that I love. The way reading takes you to different places in time. You can be an astronaut, enlist in the military, go back in time. The world is completely open and the limits are as far as your imagination can take you. I want to instill that love for reading in the children that I work with.

A little background about myself. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management through the University of Phoenix. I am a US Navy veteran, where I spent 5 years of my life and was able to use my military benefits to completely pay for my college. I am thinking about going back to school for my Master's in Psychology, but I am taking a break from school for now. I have four children. A son, 20, who is in college, a daughter, 16, who will be graduating high school this year, then twin seven year olds, who are in the 2nd grade. I work at BAE Systems as a Material Control Planner II. To put it the easy way, I figure out which parts the Navy ships need to be fixed and I buy those parts.

I am able to tutor reading, writing, math, study and homework skills, plus help with the ASVAB. My favorite subjects to tutor and to learn about would have to be reading and math. Both of these subjects are very interesting to me, and I want to make them fun and exciting for other people too.

My hobbies outside of work and tutoring would be reading, video games, music and movies. My favorite authors are Danielle Steel, Jodi Picoult, and VC Andrews. My favorite video games are Call of Duty; Advanced Warfare, Rockband, and Guitar Hero. I will watch any action/adventure movies, along with horror and sci-fi. I am a huge Star Trek fan and Have plans to go to Tidewater Comic-con next year in May.
