Honor, Courage, Kind
Our family motto is Honor, Courage, Kind. Everything I do, from the work I complete, to the groups I lead, to the way I raise my children, I apply this motto.
Honor means doing what is right, even when no one is looking. It means fulfilling my responsibilities to their fullest intent. Finishing my assignments on time to the best of my ability. Being the supportive, loving husband my wife deserves and the present father my girls look up to.
Courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to overcome it. It takes courage to push yourself beyond your limits, try something new, or stand up for what is right. Doing so is how we grow and how we discover our true potential.
Kind means having empathy for others even if they have wronged you. It means approaching life with a positive attitude and lifting those around you with your thoughtful actions.
Military Service
I am proud to say I am a third-generation combat veteran that answered the same call as my father and grandfather. It is my greatest hope having flown over 130 medical evacuations missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, that I truly made a difference in the lives of our nation's injured heroes who placed themselves in extraordinary danger in service to our country.
My favorite quote is: ”If you are going through hell…keep going.'“ - Winston Churchill
I have always looked to this quote when times are tough because life is tough. Challenges arise, failures happen, but giving up leaves you in a place you don’t want to be. Life doesn’t stop, pick yourself up, look to the horizon and keep pushing forward.
Family is Everything
There is nothing more important in this world than family. I am grateful to have been blessed with a wonderful wife and two incredible daughters. I am a Proud GIRL DAD and I am happy to say I found my soulmate and true life partner. Before having children I never understood the meaning of life but now my heart is filled with a joy, unlike anything I have ever experienced. We often joke that our firstborn is a mini version of myself. and our youngest becomes more like her mother every day. We are truly blessed and thankful for the lives we have been given and feel we are the richest people in the world.
