18 YEARS 🇺🇸 | 2008–2026

Man… what a journey.

At 20 years old, I was just a young kid from the 901 — Memphis, TN who saw family serve and decided to give the Army a try.

I never imagined that one decision would take me around the world, introduce me to so many people, give me experiences I’ll never forget, and eventually put me in a position to lead Soldiers and help others start their own journey.

These pictures and videos are just a small piece of 18 years of memories, traveling, friendships, growth, leadership and life.

20 ➡️ 38.
Memphis ➡️ around the world. 🌎
Private ➡️ Sergeant First Class.

Wouldn’t trade the journey.

18 years down… and it ain’t over yet. 🫡🇺🇸

Vacation wasn’t officially over until I caught one more game 😂✈️🏀

IYKYK… I love sports, so after flying back into LA from Texas around 4AM Sunday, I was right back outside by 4PM for Portland 🔥 vs. LA Sparks.

And this one was special — getting to see Lisa Leslie’s statue and celebrate a true LA basketball legend. 💜💛🏀

From traveling ✈️ to enjoying the things I love 🏀 to being back at work Monday morning 🫡🇺🇸 it’s all about balance.

One thing my Army career has taught me is that you can build a career, experience new places, and still make time for the things you enjoy.

If you’ve ever wondered what opportunities the Army could open up for you education, career training, benefits, travel and more shoot me a DM. No pressure, just a conversation. 📲

Work hard. Enjoy life. Create opportunities.

Today at El Camino College, we came together to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever impacted, and the first responders and service members who answered the call in the days and years that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember their courage, sacrifice, and service.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Great morning at Banning High School speaking with the Fire Magnet class about the U.S. Army and the different career, education, and training opportunities available after graduation. 🇺🇸🔥

Always good getting into the classroom, answering questions, and giving students another option to consider for their future.

What’s up 🌍

Some opportunities are worth a conversation. 👀

If you’ve ever wondered what the Army could offer you, reach out. No pressure, no commitment just real information so you can decide for yourself.

I came to see a Sparks WIN… apparently nobody told the 3rd quarter that. 😭😂

Golden State took it 84–78. Lack of rebounding + defense will get you every time! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Still a great night, great atmosphere, and definitely got some good pictures out of it. ⚡️🏀

My Sparks will bounce back… I just might need to have a recruiting conversation with somebody about that defensive effort first. 😂🫡

Started in the kitchen.
Now I recruit the future. 🇺🇸

92G taught me pride, grit, and leadership.
3 years left—still grateful for the journey.
