Where did you serve and what did you do?

U.S. NAVY Machinery Repairman USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT CVN-71

How are you Still Serving?

I am serving as a First Responder in a local fire department and the team leader for a veteran organization, The Fallen Outdoors Team Pennsylvania.

Why do you do it?

I am from a military devoted family following in the generations of service to America. I also have 2 children serving, my son in the Air Force and a daughter in the Navy. I have been a firefighter since I was 14 years old. I believe in the spirit of giving back and paying it forward. I like to think that the little I can give and or do makes a difference in someone’s life. I am the team leader for a Veteran organization that allows me to contribute with all that I have and lead by example as well as pay respect to those I cross paths with as there are a lot of folks that are less fortunate than me.
