After honorably discharging from a historically hard-hit unit, Perez received degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, filed a utility patent, and is a graduate of the MS in Entrepreneurship program offered by Foster Business School at the University of Washington. Currently, he's a Research Scientist on the Next Generation Sequencing Team at the University of Washington Department of Virology and hopes to be a Ph.D. student by the end of 2022! His book, Born To Fail, is available now on Amazon and the revenue from sales goes back to lifting the voices of the men from the unit he served in, the 5th Brigade 2nd Infantry Division.
