Juan Carlos Mejia

Myself:
I'm creative, ingenious, curious, organized, loyal, disciplined and very optimistic, enjoy life while learning something new everyday, trying to do something constructive everyday, helping others, I like to make positive things happen, to make an impact on people's lives, to make them happy even for a few minutes, perhaps with a joke but I thrive on solving problems. 

Reflection of Life: 

Juan Carlos Mejia was born on January 4th, 1961 in Bogotá, Colombia. Affectionately known as Juanca by his friends and family, he migrated to Queens, New York, in September of 1974 at the age of 13. He attended Newtown High school and later proudly graduated from Parris Island, South Carolina, as a United States Marine. After serving four eventful and travel-filled years, he was honorably discharged and began the next chapter of his life. Juanca carried the discipline and skills he gained during his military service into a successful career in energy engineering.
