Summary

I graduated from Grand Canyon University in 2020. Today, I work as the executive director for my family's foundation. In January of 2023, my parents asked me to come back and head their foundation that centers around aiding different 501(c)(3) nonprofits in various fields such as mental health, addiction recovery, education, and many more. I have the opportunity to serve as the executive director and am devoted to implementing the mission of improving the well being of every individual in our community. In honor of my dad, Darryl, I commit to serving the community as a whole through integrity, dependability, and stewardship to promote long-lasting positive change not just for now, but for generations to come.
