About me

My story is unglamorous.

I live with an unwavering dedication to service and healing. For 10 years, I served as a combat medic and Special Operations soldier, carrying my medical bag into some of the most inhospitable corners of the world.

My service took me to Haiti in an exceptionally hostile environment. I treated the injured under the most challenging conditions, witnessing firsthand the human desire to harm with my heartfelt objective to save life and heal.

My journey continued to Bosnia, where I served during the aftermath of a brutal war that tore the country apart. Amidst the chaos and bloodshed, I strived to remain a beacon of hope, treating the wounded with unwavering compassion and skill…not always successful.

Beyond the Battlefield, I embrace a healer’s heart. Though the physical scars and those that are not seen in war remain, my spirit never questioned my heart. My desire to heal and serve are far past my experiences on the battlefield. Upon transitioning to civilian life, I found ways to continue my mission.

I became a first line of defense taking care of those I could help in their worst times, bringing my battlefield experience and expertise to  new settings. I give a gentle touch and calm demeanor and have helped countless people under my care [be it very temporary] navigate the challenging road to stasis and life going forward.

In my heart, I embrace a dedication to serve that extends beyond patient care. To serve others and provide healing should not be a complexity algorithm. I advocate for increased access to quality healthcare in all modalities, particularly for veterans and those in underserved communities.

At the heart of my story lies a fundamental belief: the desire to heal and cause no harm. This core principle guides me in all my endeavors, both professional and personal. I strives to make a positive impact on the world, one healed life at a time.

My life is a testament to the enduring power of compassion and service. I am a living example of how one person can make a difference, even in the face of immense challenges. My story serves as an inspiration to all of us to find ways to heal and protect those around us, creating a world where harm is minimized and healing becomes the driving force.
