I was born and raised in Florida in a drug infested area where my parents worked very hard to keep us on the right track. After graduating high school I joined the military to provide for my family and to help serve my country. After dedicating 15 years of service and going to war I found myself lost and dealing with PTSD. My father saw I was suffering from PTSD and introduced me to farming. Though farming and working with the cattle I’m learning to re adjust to the civilian world. After my fathers passing I continued his dreams of me becoming a cattleman and I’m very thankful to help feed America and becoming better person with the outstanding support from the Farmers Veteran Coalition.
