About

Built to Serve. Driven to Create.

I’ve worn a few different uniforms in my life: soldier, truck driver, and creator. The mission has always been the same. Serve with discipline, lead with purpose, and leave something better than I found it.

Mission

After my time in the U.S. Army, I learned that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. It just takes a new form. My mission today is to use creativity, storytelling, and connection to remind veterans and families that they are not alone. Whether it’s through media, design, or community projects, I believe in using my skills to make a real impact.

My Story

My own journey through military life, PTSD recovery, and rediscovering purpose led me to storytelling. It started with my podcast It’s a Veteran’s Life and grew into Check A Vet Nation, where I work with other veterans to share the real, raw stories that need to be heard. That process of telling and listening helped me heal, and now it’s the heart of everything I do.

My Work

Today, I combine creativity and discipline through media production, storytelling, and veteran advocacy. I focus on crafting visual stories that carry emotion and purpose. Podcasts, videos, designs, and branded content that connect with people in a real way. Whether I’m working with a veteran nonprofit, a local business, or another creator, my goal is to help others share their story with honesty and strength.

Personal Note

When I’m not behind a camera or editing, I’m usually out on the trails around Helena, Montana. I spend a lot of time hiking with my family or with other vets from the Team Room. Those quiet moments in nature are what keep me grounded and remind me why I do this work.

Every Story Has Purpose.
Let’s Create Yours.

If you want to collaborate, share your story, or bring your project to life, reach out. I’m always looking to connect with people who believe in purpose-driven storytelling.
