I later went through EMT school at the North Orange County ROP.
4.
I worked as an EMT on an ambulance crew for about a year.
5.
I enrolled in the U.S. Army as a medic when I was 24; I'd always had an interest in armed services.
6.
I was stationed in Texas and decided that I liked it enough to relocate after my service ended.
7.
I started home brewing beer with my dad and realized it was a passion of mine.
8.

Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You're not good enough to create a successful product.
How I responded:
I was lucky enough to always have a really supportive family, as well as the support of the corps. But since I've started brewing and pursuing my business management degree, a lot of people who I thought were my friends have expressed their doubts. You just have to tune out that negative discouragement and figure out who your true "family" is - they're the people that will always have your back.
