Finding Our Why

“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
― Viktor E. Frankl

When I made the decision to remove alcohol from my life in 2010, I recognized that even after all the mistakes I had made, I remained blessed in my circumstances. I also realized that while talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not. There are people filled with potential who simply don’t have the opportunity to succeed, and if given a chance they can thrive. It was then I decided to devote my life to public service. I had found my why, my purpose.

​

Upon graduating from U.S. Army Officer Candidate School in March of 2020, I was fortunate to be offered a role at Catholic Charities New Hampshire supporting Liberty House , a safe and substance-free transitional housing community for homeless veterans, and New Generation , a shelter and transitional housing facility for pregnant women, mothers, and children experiencing homelessness.

​

With a long-term military training beginning in November of 2021 and lasting into 2022, I have taken a leave from CCNH for this period, and will return upon graduation. Not wanting to lose contact with those I have met and formed a bond with, my colleagues and I came up with the idea of setting up a blog to keep everyone up to date on my progress while sharing some experiences that tie into the mission of supporting and protecting the most vulnerable among us.

​

And with that, “Finding Our Why” was born. Please stay tuned for regular updates in the blog section, and feel free to ask questions, or drop me a note through the “Contact” section!
