I am inspired and humbled by the stories shared by our Nation’s true heroes.

As for me, I enlisted in New York City and proudly served 22 years in the U.S. Navy, ultimately rising to the rank of Chief.

The Navy gave me experiences I’ll never forget — including touching ground on five different continents and working alongside some of the finest people I’ve ever known.

The unmatched training and discipline I gained allowed me to begin a second career with the State of California, continuing my commitment to service in a new way.

Today, I operate an Amazon store and remain grateful for every chapter of my journey.

Thanks for time.
