Hi everyone,

I want to thank you all for taking the time to read about my journey.

I was recently diagnosed with a rare blood cancer known as T-Cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia. Less than 1000 people a year are diagnosed. My challenging journey with this disease is just starting. While optimistic, I find myself scared of losing so much.

I have been fortunate in so many ways throughout my life, surrounded by friends and family. I am thankful for my wife and two wonderful children, as well as having an incredible career in aerospace. I am truly blessed.

Throughout all of these blessings, I have also endured countless health challenges, which include living with Crohn's Disease. Life has had many uncertainties, which include timing. I don't know how much time I will have, but there is so much left to do. So many things not said, and so much more to experience.

Please find it in your heart to help me navigate the many expected expenses around my battle with cancer, as well as helping me pay for a nice family and friends gathering to celebrate life together.
