I’ve lived in Charlottesville my whole life, so this community means a lot to me. It’s where I grew up, where I’ve built my career, and where most of the people I care about are.

I’m a financial advisor here, and a big part of what I do is helping people plan for the future. Lately, that’s started to feel more personal. My wife and I are expecting our first baby this summer, and that’s changed how I think about a lot of things. Not just finances, but the kind of world we’re building and the kind of community we’re part of.

That’s a big reason why this stood out to me. I’m honored to have been selected as a Charlottesville’s Finest honoree, and I see it as a chance to give back in a way that actually matters.

Cystic fibrosis impacts thousands of people and families, and while there’s been real progress over the years, there’s still more to be done. This campaign helps fund the research and care that move things forward.

If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to be part of it. Please consider making a donation to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Even a small gift adds up, and if you’re in a position to give more, it truly makes an impact.

I’ve set a goal for this campaign, and I’m committed to hitting it. Your support would mean a lot to me and goes directly toward something bigger than all of us.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for considering a donation.
