Perseph grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico. After struggling to succeed in a science focused town, he enrolled at CTA where he graduated in 2016. With a newfound love for academia and the outdoors, Perseph went on to continue his education at Fort Lewis College. During his time there, Perseph was offered the chance to travel to Seoul, South Korea where he studied Korean language at Kookmin University and found work in fashion. After returning to the U.S., Perseph obtained a B.A. in both history and philosophy. Perseph's earlier academic struggles led him to return to Los Alamos where he worked as an instructor's assistant and theater coach in order to help students left behind by traditional school systems. He is excited to return to CTA and hopes to serve the same school he found success at.
