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.
