At 29, I thought I knew exactly what life would look like:

Two kids close in age, two careers, a bigger house, and a future that followed the script. But life had other plans. By the time our first son was 22 months old, and his baby brother only 18 months old, both were diagnosed with autism. Overnight, every expectation my wife and I had was gone. What replaced it was a mission: to understand, fight for, and build the future our boys deserved.

I threw myself into learning everything—special education law, school district tactics, therapeutic practices, medical research, and every way the system tries to limit what a child receives. I became the parent no school could mislead, no provider could dismiss, and no bureaucratic wall could stop. I fought for evaluations, services, accommodations, and evidence-based supports—and I won.

Over the years, my boys didn’t just make progress; they soared. One now holds a college degree with honors and a strong career. The other became a certified ABA therapist to give back to the community that once helped him. And along the way, we also fostered and adopted our youngest, now a college athlete with a 3.0 GPA. Every one of them reached heights many once said were impossible.

For more than 12 years, I’ve been a certified mentor and advocate for special needs children and their families. I’ve worked one-on-one with kids, guided parents through overwhelming systems, and helped families reclaim hope, direction, and control.

Today, I bring two decades of experience, hard-won knowledge, and relentless determination to YourChild.org—where I fight for your child the way I fought for my own. If there's a path, I will find it. If there's a barrier, I will push through it. And together, we’ll make sure your child moves closer to their potential every single day.
