I'm a bit of a late bloomer. It took me longer than expected to earn a 2 year Associate's degree in my early 20s. I worked the majority of my career as an automotive designer. I also got married later at 33 years old. We finally had our first child just before I turned 40 after struggling with years of infertility. That was when my instinct to provide the best life for my family kicked in. I began my Bachelor's degree as soon as my son was born. I finished it in 2021 at 45 years old. My career has since advanced to engineering and I'm providing a better life for my family. While I was finishing my Bachelor's degree, we had boy/girl twins and again my motivation to provide more for my family kicked in again. I began an MBA in 2022 to advance my career into higher levels of management. I currently have 3 children in preschool 2 days a week and it is expensive as my mortgage. My wife is a homemaker and watches our children when they are not in preschool or if they are sick, or if there was a COVID exposure at preschool. I have a busy life with family, work, and school. I look forward to finishing my MBA and using the free time to spend with my family.
