AJ attended Michigan State University with the intention of pursuing a profession in the medical field to become a doctor. The years of college, living 1500 miles away from his family were part of the foundation that helped establish him into the person he would become.

By the end of the T.F.A. conference, he was astonished by the educational inequities in our country. It was at that moment that the conviction of being a teacher was birthed inside him. He then changed his career path in pursuit of becoming a teacher.
During his 6 years teaching AJ also earned a masters in Educational Leadership. This allowed him to develop the success he was able to create in his years of teaching.
