I’ve grown up and spent my formative years in Daytona Beach. I grew up seeing how the city treats it’s citizens while prioritizing the needs of tourists, developers and investors. Like my parents who were hard workers, I too also worked tirelessly in a restaurant from the age of 16, until I was able to get an education from the post 9/11 GI bill. With that education I met my wonderful partner, and began working at a local boutique audio production manufacturer. I started organizing after realizing how much my life improved from social programs like the VA which gave me the care I needed to be a better me. I want every American to be treated with the very same humility and respect that I was shown.
