My Story

From Florida to Texas, from the military to business ownership, and now toward engineering.

I am originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, also known as the Sunshine City inside the Sunshine State. After high school, I moved to Texas at 18 after completing basic training and infantry school. From 2018 to 2021, I served in the Texas Army National Guard as an infantryman, 11B. During that time, I also started college and learned early how to balance school, work, military responsibilities, and life.

My first college experience started at Tarleton State University, where I also met my wife, Elizabeth. Like a lot of people, my path was not perfectly straight. Around 2020 and 2021, during COVID, I was back and forth between Florida and Texas and eventually stepped away from school for a while. During that time, I started a business in Florida called Junk365 Hauling and Cleanup. That was where I first got real experience with junk removal, trailers, customer service, scheduling, and running my own operation.

I always knew I wanted to run a business. I started with hauling and cleanup work, then added trailers and began renting them out as dumpsters. That experience helped shape what TexHaul Rentals LLC is today.

In 2024, my wife and I moved back to Texas to raise our first son. We now have two boys, and family is a major part of why I keep pushing forward. Between work, school, business, and being a husband and father, life is busy, but it has also given me a clear purpose.

What I Do

Work, school, business, and family all connect to how I think, work, and grow.

Concrete Estimating

I work full time as a concrete estimator, where I review plans, quantities, costs, and project details. Estimating has helped me become more detail-oriented and has shown me how important clear communication is in construction.

Engineering Student

I am currently attending Texas A&M University in College Station full time, where I am pursuing a degree in Industrial Engineering.

TexHaul Rentals LLC.

I own and operate TexHaul Rentals LLC, a dump trailer rental, haul-off, and junk removal business serving the San Antonio area. Running the business has taught me about scheduling, customer service, documentation, pricing, and problem solving.

Family

I am a husband and father of two boys. My family is a major reason I continue to work hard, stay organized, and build something long term.

Why Industrial Engineering?

I realized the degree fit the way I already think.

After moving back to Texas, I decided to return to college and take my education seriously. I looked into Industrial Engineering and realized it lined up with how I already think. I like improving systems, fixing problems, cutting waste, saving money, and finding better ways to do everyday work.

Industrial Engineering fits me because I already use that mindset in estimating and in TexHaul. In estimating, I deal with quantities, costs, plans, and details. In my business, I deal with scheduling, pricing, customer communication, equipment tracking, inspections, and problem solving. I may not have known the official name for it at first, but I was already thinking in terms of processes, efficiency, and operations.

My goal is to move to College Station in Summer 2026 and continue full time at Texas A&M. Even though I am from Florida, Texas has always felt like home. I spent summers and parts of my childhood here, and I believe this is where God has led me to build my career and raise my family.

Building TexHaul

A small business still needs strong systems behind the scenes.

TexHaul Rentals LLC is a dump trailer rental, haul-off, and junk removal service business. On the outside, it may look simple: deliver trailers, pick them up, haul material, and take care of customers. Behind the scenes, there is a lot more that has to be organized correctly for the business to run smoothly.

I have built systems around scheduling, contracts, invoices, inspections, customer documentation, and dispute protection. TexHaul uses pre- and post-rental inspection photos to document trailer condition. Customer files are organized through Google Drive. Invoices and contracts are handled through Square. Excel is used to track money, sort expenses, separate business and personal charges, and analyze operating costs.

I have also explored Python automation as a future way to improve the business. Some ideas include automating invoice tracking, organizing customer records, sending reminders, analyzing rental data, and creating alerts for trailer maintenance. The goal is not to make the business complicated. The goal is to remove repetitive work, reduce mistakes, and make it easier to grow while still keeping control of the operation.

I am also interested in tools like GPS tracking, better inspection workflows, automated customer communication, and stronger documentation for payment disputes. Running TexHaul has taught me that technical communication is not just something for school. Clear contracts, organized records, professional messages, and accurate documentation can protect a business and improve the customer experience.

Scheduling & Customer Communication

Square helps organize appointments, customer information, and service details.

Contracts & Invoices

Templates help keep policies, pricing, and service descriptions consistent.

Inspection Photos

Pre- and post-service photos help document trailer condition and protect both the customer and the business.

Google Drive Organization

Customer documents, photos, and service records are stored in organized folders.

Excel Tracking

Spreadsheets help track income, expenses, categories, and business performance.

Python Automation

Future automation ideas include reminders, customer tracking, invoice reports, and maintenance alerts.

Technical Writing Portfolio

Selected work from ENGL 2311: Technical and Business Writing

This portfolio includes selected work from my Technical and Business Writing course. The course covered audience analysis, professional correspondence, ethical communication, research, proposals, recommendation reports, document design, usability testing, job documents, and professional identity.

I chose these documents because they show my growth across the semester. Some assignments are school-based, while others connect directly to my real work with TexHaul Rentals LLC. Together, they show how I learned to write for different audiences, organize information, support claims with research, and design documents that are useful to readers.
