My path to Top 40 is different than many. I started into the shipyard at $8.10 per hour and worked my way through the ranks with an apprentice program and great mentors. Regardless of the route you take, hard work, perseverance, a genuine heart, and the courage to be who you are will always lead you into a favorable situation. I’m not saying it will be easy, but it will be worth it.
I love reading historical fiction, re-reading all the Harry Potter books, and perusing manuals about different wine types and proper pairings. My secret goal is to become a part-time sommelier.
I founded the Young Legislators Initiative in Hampton, which works to improve the education of young people in civics and economics, and volunteer with other community groups.
