“I was born in Manatí, Puerto Rico and moved around the United States a bit. As a kid, I would always look up to the sky at the planes and knew I wanted to work with them. I also always wanted to become a Marine because I had admired them as a young kid. I think where I am at in life is perfect for me because I get the best of both worlds. I get to do and be who I want.”
