My life began 28 years ago on a summer day in July, in the town of Gallup, New Mexico. I was born into a great family and I was the last one to arrive. My parents grew up on different sides of the Navajo reservation and instill the same traditions they were both brought up with. With my parents preserving my roots and traditions, I was able to explore the life of academia. My education has taken me from grade school to a college not far from the border of Texas and the southern border of New Mexico. New Mexico State University, is where my life as a engineer began. While attending classes and organizations, I came across several individuals that gave me a positive spin on life. Graduation came and the journey started to become an individual. I ended up choosing the foothills of the Sandia mountains. As an up and coming young engineer, I was able to gain employment with an Architectural and Engineering firm in Albuquerque. My adult life began by demonstrating my qualities by completing road inventories for various Native American tribes scattered all over the country. Beyond the countless maps and road data, I’ve spent my leisure time with family and friends. |
