Bring warriors home — to themselves.
Not to a zip code. Not to a barstool. Not to a diagnosis.
Home is peace of mind.
It’s dignity. It’s purpose. It’s being seen.
My mission is simple: help veterans take the armor off, reconnect to who they are beneath the war, and step back into brotherhood, leadership, and service — for their families, their communities, and the next generation.
The VFW can lead this movement.
Not by asking veterans to join, but by giving them a reason to.
We already have the posts, the people, and the mission. What we need now is a service-first model that restores connection, purpose, and local leadership — then turns that restored energy into action in our communities.
If we do that, the VFW becomes what it was always meant to be: the place where warriors come home, and the country gets stronger.
Who am I and what I bring to VFW California leadership
Retired U.S. Navy SEAL with 24 years of service, rising from the enlisted ranks to a commissioned officer as a mustang leader, forged in combat and defined by accountability, discipline, and relentless mission execution.
I live the SEAL ethos: lead from the front, never quit, and take care of your team—principles that drive decisive action and unwavering responsibility in every mission I take on.
Served 6 years as a firefighter paramedic in Glendale, California, continuing a life on the front lines where pressure is constant, stakes are real, and service to others comes before self.
Proven builder of multiple nonprofit organizations that deliver real-world solutions for veteran transition, creating environments where warriors rediscover purpose, rebuild identity, and re-engage with life.
I am committed to restoring the warrior spirit within the VFW, ensuring our veterans don’t just survive after service, but come home, reconnect, and rise to live with strength, purpose, and meaning.
