As a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force, I’ve proudly served as a leader, planner, organizer, writer, and Public Affairs Chief — dedicated to connecting people, purpose, and progress. Beyond the uniform, I’ve become a veteran advocate and community innovator, leading multiple veteran organizations to support service members in areas of need, championing policy changes, and hosting a decade-long radio show representing the voices of veterans across the airwaves.

My journey now continues through my work in legacy and insurance planning, guiding families to prepare for the moments that matter most. As a leader and purpose-driven professional, I carry forward the same heart of service — empowering others to protect their families, preserve their stories, and live with the confidence that their love will endure for generations.
