“Some have a long list of choices that they narrow down to a short list,” he said. “I started with a short list of one.”
King, a member of the Liberty Township Explorers, which allows him to train with firefighters and police officers, said, “I love computers and I wanted to work in the criminal justice field, so I just put two and two together” and decided he wanted to major in computer forensics.
