A sought-after speaker dedicated to empowering individuals to overcome adversity and transform their lives. As a 32-year-old Army veteran and an active Deputy Sheriff with over 12 years of law enforcement experience, I bring a unique perspective to the challenges many face today.
Originally from Staten Island, NY, I now reside in Columbia, SC, where I live with my amazing wife and our three beautiful children. My journey has been marked by significant trials, including being a suicide survivor, experiencing homelessness, and battling mental health challenges while navigating the responsibilities of being a young father and husband. These experiences have fueled my passion for mental health advocacy and personal development, and I am committed to sharing my story to inspire others.
Throughout my law enforcement career, I have served in various roles, including Patrol Supervisor, Assistant Police Chief, School Resource Officer, and I currently work as a Detective. My diverse experience in these positions has reinforced the importance of community and the need to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the people we serve. I believe that fostering strong community relationships is essential for creating a safer, more supportive environment for everyone.
I hold two master’s degrees—one in Leadership and another in Human Resources Management—along with a graduate certificate in Organizational Development. This academic background, combined with my real-world experiences, allows me to connect deeply with my audience and share practical strategies for personal and professional growth.
Through my speaking engagements, I aim to create a safe space for individuals to explore their own challenges, learn effective strategies for personal growth, and discover the strength within themselves to persevere. My mission is to encourage others to embrace their journeys, cultivate positive change, and ultimately thrive despite life’s obstacles.
Thank you for considering me as a speaker for your event. Together, we can ignite hope and inspire transformation!
