About
A simple story, lived on purpose.
I'm a follower of Jesus, a proud U.S. veteran, and an entrepreneur. My story isn't complicated: I learned service in uniform, and I've spent every season since finding new ways to live it out — at home, in business, and in my community.
From the time I was a child, I dreamed of serving in the military. That calling shaped many of my goals and decisions growing up, and my time in uniform strengthened qualities like discipline, resilience, accountability, and selfless service. Those lessons continue to influence how I live and lead today. Although above all, it is my relationship with Jesus Christ that has truly transformed and shaped who I am. My faith is the foundation of my life, guiding my decisions, my relationships, and the way I strive to serve others.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to build a business of my own from the ground up — a pool service company — and to guide families through their health coverage as an insurance advisor. Although those experiences taught me valuable lessons and helped me grow personally and professionally, they ultimately showed me that I'm called to something more— I want my work to have a lasting impact on people's lives. What has remained constant is my desire to help others with honesty, integrity, and genuine care. Whether serving customers, leading a business, or pursuing new opportunities, I've always believed that people deserve someone they can trust—someone who keeps their word and puts others before themselves.
Away from work, you'll find me with my family or somewhere quiet outdoors — a trail, a ridgeline, a lake at first light. Time in God's creation keeps me grounded. It reminds me that the best things aren't rushed, and that every summit worth reaching is earned one faithful step at a time.
My Mission
To use every gift, opportunity, and platform God has given me to serve people well — in my family, in my work, and in my community.
Faith
A Jesus follower. The foundation of my life and the compass that guides every decision I make.
Family
The people who mean the most to me and the reason I work my hardest every day.
The Outdoors
Oceans, trails, mountains, and still waters—places where life slows down, I find perspective, and I feel renewed.
What Guides Me
Four things I don't compromise.
Faith First
Every decision — business or personal — starts with what honors God and serves people. That order never flips.
Integrity
Do what you said you'd do, even when it costs you. If something isn't right, say so — plainly and early.
Servant Leadership
Real leadership is carrying the heaviest pack, not wearing the biggest title. Show up first, serve first.
Excellence
Whatever the task, do it well and leave it better than you found it. Half-measures serve no one.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.”
1 Peter 4:10
