C.J graduated from University of Lynchburg with a major in psychology. He interned at Park View Community Mission in Lynchburg during his final semester and following summer, where he gathered experience in conflict resolution and crisis management.” His pleasure in getting to know others, led him in the direction of after-school care, where he can help children develop and grow. He is an Eagle Scout and loves being outdoors, hiking, or exploring. He also uses his experience in Scouts to guide how he handles the variety of different situations that arise in both professional, and day-to-day life.

C.J hopes to one day be able to combine his love of people and the outdoors to pursue a career at a nature center, where he can both participate in conservation efforts, and teach others how to do so.
