Professional Bio

Born in Denver, Colorado, I built a career defined by service, discipline, and entrepreneurship. After attending George Washington High School and later Eldorado High School in Las Vegas, NV, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where they worked on the legendary F-14 fighter aircraft as a member of VF-213 at NAS Miramar. During a shore duty tour at AIMD Powerplants, I was recruited to join the elite Crisis Response Force (CRF/SRT) SWAT Anti-Terrorist Team, further honing my tactical and leadership skills.

Following an honorable tenure in the Navy, I continued my commitment to national security by becoming a Detention Enforcement Officer with the U.S. Border Patrol (now ICE). Later, they transitioned to a role as a Police Officer with the Department of Defense, where I served with dedication for 12 years until a line-of-duty injury led to retirement.

After relocating to Atlanta, GA, I enrolled at Belhaven University, acquired a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Management and a Master of Science (MS) in Organizational Leadership, and embraced a new chapter as an entrepreneur. In 2019, I founded Slap Someone Sauce LLC, channeling my passion into a growing business venture. With a diverse background spanning military service, law enforcement, and business ownership, I bring a wealth of experience, resilience, and drive to every endeavor I pursue.
