Upon a chance encounter with a group of ensigns on shore leave from a ship returning from it's most recent tour, he caught a spark of inspiration from their tales of exploration for exploration's sake and the strange things they encountered on the fringe.

In addition to selecting a science track with specializations in biology, botany, and xenology, he leveraged his checkered career with a secondary specialization in tactical. | The rigors of the academy proved surprisingly fertile ground for exploring his capabilities and cementing his drive for more.
