WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SERVE AND WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO JOIN THE ARMY?
Serving in the Army means a recognition that you are part of something greater than yourself. I am motivated to serve by the love I have for my wife and kids, my family, the freedoms I enjoy and the desire to have a positive impact on the future of this Nation.
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THE ARMY TEN-MILER AND WHAT IS YOUR REASONING FOR COMPETING FOR THE BDE TEAM
I began training in January 2023. I have always had a passion for running long distance races and was excited for the opportunity to apply that passion on behalf of the 780th MI Brigade. The Army Ten-Miler is a great experience to unite with thousands of Soldiers from around the world and to compete on an awesome course around our Nation’s Capital. I was honored to run alongside other members of the Brigade.
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS?
I intend on completing 20 years of honorable service in the Army. I am working on finishing my bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity and Software Development. My wife and I have been married for 12 years, and we will spend many more creating a beautiful life for our 3 boys.
