• What do you tell people you do when asked?
  • When asked, I tell people I get to work closely with loyal donors and supporters to offer unique experiences which in turn allows us to execute on our mission, to Honor and Empower our nations heroes.
• I am passionate about fundraising because…
  • The ability to see the impact it makes for our warriors. I have seen so many warriors go from the warrior in our logo being carried and over time move to the logo carrying another. I have always been a servant leader and the ability for me to work full-time and give back to those that provided me and my family the freedom we have is humbling and rewarding.

  • The camaraderie, the networking (even if virtual)and ability to lean on one another for questions, best practices and the ability to reach out and talk about trends, opportunities and hear from some great leaders at monthly events.

  • In this field you must remain grounded, humbled and driven by the mission in which you support. The fruits of the labor come from seeing, hearing and outing the mission your serve in motion.
