“Duke opened its doors to me – a cowboy turned soldier turned grad student soon to be cyber guy – and surrounded me with brilliant minds from across the globe. From the moment I stepped foot on this campus, I saw people who could accomplish anything they set their minds to. I was humbled to discover they viewed me as a peer – believing I, too, could do the same.”
