I was born and raised in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and had the privilege of growing up as the son of a dedicated full-time mom and a Navy veteran dad, who also coached my baseball teams throughout my childhood. My upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for ethics, integrity, leadership, and teamwork—values that have guided me throughout my life. During my high school years, I was actively involved in football, baseball, weightlifting, and wrestling, all while finding time to participate in volunteer initiatives that fueled my passion for community engagement and collaboration. This commitment to values continued as I pursued an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Seminole State College. <br><br> Today, I enjoy watching and umpiring baseball, attending NASCAR races, and visiting Disney. However, nothing is more important to me than spending quality time with my two kids, my girlfriend, and our lovable, furry menagerie of four spoiled rotten pups and a sweet kitty. My love for family, human and furry, drives my passion for giving back and making a positive impact. <br><br> I’m honored to be part of the Vertical Raise team, where we are dedicated to helping our fundraising partners not only meet but exceed their goals. I take pride in offering the best fundraising platform and delivering unmatched customer service, ensuring that I contribute meaningfully to the communities we serve.
