Nuclear Submarine Officer | @NavalAcademy ‘22 | Chasing greatness | Aspiring future industrialist + Builder | Background in CS and Nuclear engineering
Jacksonville Beach, FL
Joined December 2014
I went from working as a garbage man and almost failing out of high school to running an entire nuclear reactor plant on the US Navy’s biggest submarine. Here to share my story on X with anyone aspiring to be an engineer, leader or engineer.

We desperately need shipyards and builders. I work with some of the most competent people in the world in the Navy but we don’t have the industrial base to support.
stop building apps start building ships trust me

Put yourself out there
I firmly believe that the loneliness epidemic is a choice. You cannot get a thriving social life without risking a little embarrassment or rejection. The youth need to stop being weenies and throw more parties.

Everyone in SF: “You won’t have jobs in a year” Everyone else in the US: “Okay let’s severely limit or ban AI” SF bro: “Why do they hate AI?” Seriously, you guys need to stop with the AI doom and gloom. Nobody knows. But we need AI and you guys are hurting yourselves.

I started out as a garbage man and now operate nuclear reactors on submarines. This is America. Anything is possible.

I will fix this. Work on hard things. If you are hardworking and ambitious, then let’s build hardware. I studied Computer Science but it’s time to use that and pivot into building reactors, power stations, large factories, rockets, cars, planes, and everything above.
🇨🇳 China now generates 40% more electricity than the US and EU combined.

This is wild
In the 1960s, 95% of the apparel Americans wore was made in the USA. Today, that number is just 2%. In one lifetime, we went from being the world’s textile & apparel powerhouse to being entirely dependent on foreign supply.

Reading this book in prep for a trip to Arkansas. This book is super underrated. Way better business book than most of the modern slop I have read. He doesn’t give you any gimmicky nonsense. He just grinded through it.

Stick to a goal and do what needs to be done for the goal. That might require 175 different random things…

Biggest self improvement nonsense: morning routines or trying to follow a consistent “list” of “productive activities” I look back on all my successes and they came after months or years of chaotic and random actions towards a singular goal. Even now, working as a Submarine
