“
I spent the first half of my adult life serving and protecting my country as a U.S. Marine. I aspire to spend
the next phase of my life contributing to the country’s economic and social security. When I remove my military
uniform for the final time, I will step into a real estate career that will enable me to serve the needs of my
country and community. That is why I am working toward a master’s of real estate development at Auburn
University. From there, I intend to pursue ICSC certifications to help me produce commercial properties that
will bring value to investors and communities alike. I could not be more grateful to the supporters of the ICSC
Foundation. Their generosity and willingness to give back affords an opportunity to the next generation of real
estate professionals to continue shaping and improving the commercial and retail real estate landscape.
