Father, coach, and Marine who understands how to push, lead, and grow adolescents to be responsible young adults. As a father, I know patience and compassion and I use the 14 Marine Corps Leadership principles with my children, because they have value beyond the military. As a coach in strength and conditioning and in martial arts, I have learned to work with different learning styles, making me a more efficient educator and coach. As a Marine, I spent 8 years dedicated to my service, deploying 4 times, 3 to combat zones, and always sought opportunities for new experiences. In this same spirit, I will inspire the next generation of young warriors, and help guide them into their new found lives as military officers.
