As a veteran, my military service has shaped the person I am today. It taught me the importance of discipline, resilience, leadership, and commitment to serving others. Those experiences continue to influence how I approach challenges, support my family, and strive to make a positive impact in my community. I take great pride in my service and carry those values with me in every aspect of my life. 

My wife is currently a dedicated karate student working toward earning her black belt. Her determination, perseverance, and strong work ethic inspire me every day. She has invested countless hours in training, learning new techniques, and pushing herself to improve both physically and mentally. Watching her pursue this important milestone reminds me that success comes through patience, discipline, and unwavering dedication, and I am proud to support her every step of the way.
