I enlisted in the Marines in 2008 and deployed to Afghanistan, where I was injured during a foot patrol and sustained life-threatening injuries. After over 40 surgeries and nearly three months in the hospital, I had to relearn the most basic tasks, and eventually transitioned out of the Marines in 2014.

Losing both legs meant losing the life I knew. Pushing myself physically is how I found my way back. Discovering my limitations and working to push past them, which eventually led me to coaching others to do the same.

My motto is Forward Always. It's a promise I made over a decade ago, and I intend to keep it. I don't know where it leads, but forward is the only option, and I'm proud to be moving forward alongside BPN.

Let's get to work.
