First of all thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

My story is great because of the lives that have impacted me along the way. Growing up in Colorado I stayed in the same community. I was involved with Boy Scouts, bowling, baseball, basketball, soccer, football and church. I come from a split home with parents of vastly different view points. Developed early friendships that have lasted to this day. I've been very blessed to grow up with a great family presence that installed great values and purpose.

I struggled through school not ever getting my feet under me enough to gain traction. Found myself trying to be more of an attention seeker than a goal achiever. Some how maintained steady friendships and grew into a young adult quicker than anticipated. Shortly after high school joined the US Navy and traveled the world learning more then I could absord. Visited countries that I looked up to and appreciated due to thier heritage and history.

Shortly after my military experience I was granted a medical option for honorable discharge and made my way back to Colorado to learn my family business. The Construction and Security Integration is a challenging field and it requires a 5 year apprenticeship just to gain industry understanding. I've failed more times then I would like to admit in my growth. Fortunately I've learned much in the last 6 years and discovered that business ownership is the option that interests me most. Taking over the family business would be a dream come true but earning that privilege will continue to take time to correctly navigate a transition.

I recently married in October of 2012 to the woman that found me before I knew what I could be. She has opened my mind and heart to much greater potential than before and shown me that serving god, her, my family and my community is the example our kids deserve. She has challenged me daily to grow and develop myself for my family and those that choose to follow by my side to make an impact.
