I’m funny (at times) and have ambitions and goals. I want to teach United States history and coach high school football. I want to help educate the future generations of this country. I’ve worked full time factory jobs, minimum wage part time jobs, and most of what’s in between. I enjoy sports, eSports (which I someday hope I don’t have to distinguish
