“Serving in the U.S. Army taught me the fundamentals that resonate with anyone: doing what’s right, speaking honestly, honoring commitments, and putting others before myself. While I’ve retired my uniform, that spirit of service hasn’t faded—it’s simply taken a new direction.
Today I’m channeling those same values into our community. Whether it’s lending a hand at a local shelter, supporting neighbors in need, or helping improve the safety and wellbeing of our county, I’m dedicated to making a tangible, positive impact.
In short, the lessons from my military service guide me every day, and I’ll continue using them to serve the people around me—just like any citizen who wants to give back.”
