Hello Family and Friends,

This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make. Most of you know that I’m a proud man who has always believed I could handle anything on my own—but I’ve reached a point where I need to ask for help.

Over the past six years, I’ve endured about 13 cardiac arrests and over eight heart procedures/surgeries. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs, with doctors still unable to find lasting solutions. Despite fighting every step of the way, the toll—physically, emotionally, and financially—has been heavy.

The medical bills continue to pile up, time away from work has been unavoidable, and travel to Minnesota for treatment has only added to the financial strain. Many of you have asked how you can help—this is how.

My goal is not only to meet my medical needs but to exceed that goal so I can donate a portion to the Mayo Clinic’s nonprofit programs to help others facing similar battles.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, love, and prayers through this journey. You’ve stood by me during my toughest moments, and I am truly grateful.
