Profile

I was born in Baguio, Philippines, and as the oldest of four, responsibility came early. My childhood was shaped by movement — living in Japan, Argentina, and Brazil before eventually settling in the United States. After graduating from a public high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman. When my service ended, I began college, where I also met my future spouse. 

I am a devoted husband and father to two incredible daughters. My wife, a clinical behavioral health counselor, serves others with compassion and dedication. Our oldest is thriving in middle school, excelling both academically and on the field hockey team, while our youngest has embraced Pre-K 4 with enthusiasm and curiosity. Though I have served for over 23 years as an active-duty Army officer, my greatest commitment has always been to my family. 

As I approach the conclusion of my Army career, I reflect with deep gratitude on the honor of serving my nation. I look forward to the next chapter — watching my children build lasting friendships, supporting my wife in pursuing her professional goals, and investing more intentionally in our community. This transition marks not an end, but the beginning of a new mission and career path.
