ABOUT ME

A published author, military veteran, and wanderlust! Recently published my first book, "Leaving Footprints Behind" about my time as a soldier, my humanitarian endeavors and everything I've learned along the way. Traveling the world, exploring new cultures, meeting new people, and sharing stories of adventure makes life worth living. It's an appreciation and my way of showing gratitude to my time here on earth! Life is a beautiful thing....you just need to open your eyes and see for yourself :)
