Autodidactic Studies @Self-Taught

Life-Long Learner

Formal Education: Departed the school system in 7th grade.

The Real Story: As a ward of the state of Tennessee, I learned early that if I wanted to know something, I had to teach it to myself.

The Result: I have "autodidacted" my way into every career I’ve ever held. I replaced a diploma with a library card, a logic-first mindset, and the ability to out-work and out-learn the standard curriculum.
