El-Haaj Fernanders

My name is Elhaaj Fernanders. I am a US Air Force Special operations Veteran, I served for 8 years enlisted, while serving 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. I have traveled to over 9 countries and helped liberate countless individuals. My wife and I have been married for 14 years and have an amazing 13 year old son. My passion is art and photography, and I love to do all types of adventure sports including competitive running. I spend a lot of free time on mountains or at the national white water center. I have been an educator for 3 years, I'm completing a BA in Arts education with a minor in physical education. 

I'm very glad to be a part of the Charlotte Lab Family!
