What Drives You to Do What You Do?

Growing up in a military family — my father serving over 30 years in the United States Air Force — and my own 20+ years of service as a Federal Agent, I am committed to loving, giving back, honoring, and serving those who have selflessly defended our nation.

When Did You Know This Was Your Calling?

For over 35 years, I sought my unique purpose, asking God what gift He placed in me to share with the world. At 50, after being blessed with my son, I realized that my legacy must be one of kindness, humility, love, service, and honor — values I want to instill in others to leave the world better than we found it.
