Over the course of my life and military career God has been constantly molding me into what I am today. My life has been filled with struggles, heart ache, sorrow and defeat. I've lived in poverty and been in situations no child or adult should ever be found having to make it through. Through my military service, multiple deployments and a unconventional childhood I found a way be happy and successful in my life. God has shown me a love, grace and a gratitude I could never have without those trials. I want to pass on these critical life lessons to our youth, our future.
