My parents moved my sister and I to Fruitland Park from Chicago in 1997 for a better life, we never looked back. Since then I have enjoyed being part of the central Florida community and have established my own family roots locally, raising my two children with my wife Jessica. In my free time I try to be the best husband and father I can be.

I joined the Marines Corps in 2002 and left honorably in 2012, since then I have worked in the utility field, such as power distribution, natural gas, and traffic. I consider myself a very technical and analytic person, and enjoy problem solving. I take pleasure in helping Veterans in need of assistance navigating our VA system, and make sure they receive the care they are entitled to. I am a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans Charity as well.
