Where did you serve and what did you do?

I’m an Air Force veteran who served in Southwest and Central Asia for OIF/OEF.

How are you #StillServing?

I’m still serving through encouraging civic engagement and advocacy for underrepresented groups.

Why do you do it?

My voice matters and your voice matters. We are our best when we have diversity of ideals and life experiences. We are also our best when the average person can be engaged in the process at all levels. Service does not end when you take your uniform off. The Air Force and my upbringing taught me that when you can help make someone’s life better, you do it. The VFW has given me a great opportunity to advocate for veterans and my community has given me the opportunity to help everyone.
