After graduating college, I joined the U.S. Navy and pursued a career in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). I served for over seven years as an EOD Technician, where I had the privilege of working alongside some of the most capable and dedicated individuals in the military.

Some of the highlights of my time in the service include two deployments overseas, leading and being a part of high-performing teams in complex, high-risk environments, and earning qualifications in military freefall, diving, and advanced demolition operations.

In 2023, I made the transition from military service to civilian life, moving from San Diego to New York City to start a new chapter in my life at Bank of America through their Veterans Associate Program. I now work in Structured Products Syndication.

I was fortunate to have had such an incredible military career, however, not all veterans are fortunate enough to walk away from their time in the service without any health complications. The reason I fight is to raise money for cancer research and treatments for military veterans who are now fighting a gruesome enemy on the home front.

If I learned one thing from my time in the Navy, it is that with the right team, mountains can be moved. I thank you in advance for your time and support, and I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, November 6th!
