I am originally from Concord, New Hampshire. I graduated from Concord High school in 2019. I enlisted in the US Navy in 2018 and left for bootcamp shortly after graduating high school. I spent one year in training to become a Hospital Corpsman (medic). After training I was stationed on the USS Carter Hall LSD-50 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I was stationed on the ship for four years in which I completed two nine month deployments to Europe and the Middle East and a total of almost 3 years of time at sea. On my first deployment my ship was involved in Operation Allies Refuge more commonly known as the evacuation of Afghanistan. Between my first and second deployments my ship was involved in countless special operation training missions with the Navy SEALs and US Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. I was also involved in Operation High Altitude Balloon where we protected and recovered the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down off of the coast of South Carolina. On my second deployment we were involved in antidrug trafficking operations and protected cargo ships traversing the Bab al-Mandab strait from Houthi missile attacks. After a successful 4 years tour I separated from the Navy on August 26th 2024.
