Country: USA

Age: 41

Occupation: Senior Vice President at Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC

I was born in Bremerhaven, Germany while my father served overseas in the United States Navy. I grew up in New York State, lived in Tennessee for 13 years and currently have made California my home for the last seven years. I reside within 250 yards of Windansea Beach, which is a stretch of coastline located in La Jolla, a community of San Diego, California. I have had an amateur radio license since 2009 with previous call signs of KJ6CWP and K6AAX.

I serve as a Regional Brokerage Manager and supervise 25+ Financial Advisors. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and Juris Doctor degree from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN.

I am honored to have been chosen by my father, VY2ZM. As compared to the accomplishments of VY2ZM and all of the other competitors, I hope that I can compete. Either way, it will be a tremendous learning opportunity and an experience of a lifetime.
