I was Born and raised in the Rogue Valley; after graduating from Crater High School, I dedicated 22 years of my life to the United States Navy. One of the highlights of my post-military endeavors was my involvement in constructing wells in four different countries. This allowed me to combine my technical expertise with a passion for making a positive impact on communities in need. My off time is spent at my children’s sporting events, coaching little league, and supporting my children with their 4H and FFA projects.
