I live in Orangevale California with my wife and kids. I served in the Marines from 2002-2006 where I deployed to Iraq in support of OIF I & II. In direct support for 1st Marine Division during the invasion in 2003 and in Fallujah in 2004. I’m an independent filmmaker advocating for Veteran Suicide Prevention. I find peace in Surf Therapy with Operation Surf and the Veteran Surf Alliance and feel this way of therapy through the healing powers of the ocean are important for veteran recovery. I believe that every Veterans life is important and will do everything possible to make sure they know that.
