Growing up on a small dairy farm in rural western Ohio with my parents and younger sister, I am no stranger to growing up and hearing stories about a parent passing away from an accident and seeing the hardships that come after it. Spiritually, emotionally, and financially that kind of event takes a huge toll on the loved ones of the dearly departed. I grew up knowing that I wanted to protect and serve my fellow American in any way I could, and I have tried to live that way all my life.

After graduating from Bowling Green State University with a degree in Aviation engineering and working at a couple of companies as an engineer after college, I realized I was not living that dream of protecting people but only protecting myself and the company with my time. Now working with the Knights of Columbus, I truly feel that I am walking the path that God has planned for me as I am able to live and practice my faith in what I do, and I get to let it grow unashamedly with the great men in the Knights and with their families that we serve to protect.

Becoming a Field Agent with the Knights of Columbus has been what I see as a Divine Promotion, and I pray every night that I get to protect and serve those entrusted to me, as well as getting to support and raise my future children knowing that what I do is a blessing.
