About Me

Greetings! My name is Michael Ortiz, and I'm a history buff who has a strong interest in figuring out how the stories of the past came to be. I was born and raised in Illinois, which is known for its beautiful landscapes, and I have always been mesmerized by the deep historical patterns that are all around me. My commitment to serving others has influenced the path that my life has taken. I am quite proud of my service in both the Navy and the Army, where I gained valuable insight into the value of self-control, collaboration, and perseverance. Not only did I improve my talents as a result of these experiences, but I also gained a greater understanding for the hardships endured by those who came before us.
