Colorado Christian University Nov. 2006 – Present

I plan to graduate from CCU this August with a degree in Organizational Management. My work experience as well as a degree that is extremely valuable in the professional world as well as the personal will make me a valuable asset to any team. Organization Management hits on many of the topics discussed today in some of the most prestigious companies worldwide. Topics include; small group interaction, conflict management, effective communication, diversity in the work place, etc… With this degree, I hope to broaden my abilities as an effective communicator in the work force to bring out the best in anyone I meet. I take night classes to work around my schedule of family and work. I am currently taking three classes a block (every 5 weeks). The standard for adult learners is one class for every block. This demonstrates my desire to succeed and my willingness to work hard for things that I want.

Vanguard University ( Southern California) Feb. 2005 – June 2006

I started at Vanguard with the desire to complete my degree in a two year, adult learner program. I was in my fifth block when I transferred to Colorado Springs. I was a religion major with an emphasis on biblical studies. Some of the topics being discussed were Greek, Hebrew, exegesis and New Testament theology.

Various Schools Jan. 1997 – 2002

I went to varying Community Colleges in order to complete my A.A. degree. During this time, I was honing my skills as a web programmer. I would go to school in the morning, work at night and then stay up all night figuring out the intricacies of HTML (new to me in 1997), Javascript and ASP.

Calvary Chapel High School Sept. 1991 – June 1994

As a member of the student council, I helped lead many school activies. I wrestled for one of the top programs in the nation. Calvary Chapel has won many state and local tournaments. For a small school those were fantastic accomplishments. I was also a three-year varsity track member winning league championships in the 110 hurdles as well a top three finish in California Invitational.

 

Personal Interests

I love to snowboard. Therefore, my move to Colorado was not as hard as I anticipated. In California, I was heavily into surfing. I enjoy playing guitar, reading and even do some occasional writing.
