Paul Ferguson, UR -This is me


Hello all. As stated, this is me. I am a father to three wonderful children that consume most of my life. I wouldn't change it for anything because it wasn't always this way. I medically retired from the US Army Infantry after 10 years of service a few years back and finally getting to where I've spent more time with them than away. In total, I spent about three and a half years in Afghanistan and I am glad to have had the experiences I have. Being stationed in the mountains of a third world country or frozen upstate New York, one thing, besides my kids, that I truly missed was the ocean. From as far back as I can remember I have always loved everything marine, and science for that matter. I finished my AA about a year ago and switched to the EST program so I could continue taking courses in science. I strive to constantly find a better understanding of the world we live in. The beauty is in the details, and balance. I am thrilled to be taking this course and continuing my education in the field I love so much. I look forward to getting to know everyone a little better and discovering what others are passionate about. Thanks for reading.
