The Panthers Warrior Program is a way for me to support and give back to my fellow Veterans, many of whom were not as lucky as I was in my military career. I consider myself blessed to have had the honor of serving beside so many brave men and women, and to have returned from my service with hearing loss as my only battle scar. So many have made the ultimate sacrifice, and many more have emotional and physical scars when they return. I consider myself fortunate to have served, and to have the ability to support those Vets that truly earned and need it. This program is one way for me to say thank you to them, while fostering the military camaraderie and brotherhood that we often lack in our return to civilian life.

I am happy to have found this worthy endeavor in its early stages, so I can stand beside my teammates and marvel at what it will undoubtedly grow into in the years ahead. I have seen the positive impact it can have on my fellow Vets, and I am thrilled to participate and assist in its growth in whatever capacity I am able.
