Why I'm Running

From recovery
to the finish line.

Just days after graduating from USC, I was involved in a motorcycle accident that fractured four ribs and one of my toes.

Recovery gave me a new challenge, both physically and mentally. Now, I am determined to turn that experience into something positive by taking on the Long Beach Marathon.

“This marathon is a testament to my recovery journey and to what we can accomplish when we keep moving forward.”

I am running to rebuild my self-confidence, challenge myself, and inspire others to develop safe and healthy outlets for the challenges life throws at us.

Most importantly, I am using this journey to support the American Cancer Society and the fight against a disease that has impacted countless individuals, families, and communities.

The Mission

More than just
a marathon.

🏃‍♂️

Recovery

Turning a difficult physical recovery into a goal that celebrates movement, health, resilience, and progress.

🧠

Confidence

Rebuilding confidence through discipline and proving to myself that one difficult moment does not define what comes next.

🎗️

Community

Using every mile to raise awareness and support for the American Cancer Society and its mission.

A Little About Me

Engineer.
Aviator.
Aspiring astronaut.

My ultimate goal is to become an astronaut.

I am currently an avionics engineering intern at Second Order Effects, working on the kinds of electronics, hardware, testing, and aerospace systems that have always fascinated me.

I am also continuing my education in astronautical engineering at the University of Southern California.

Part-time, I am learning about avionics maintenance on C-130 aircraft with the Air National Guard.

I enjoy being operational and hands-on, whether that means working with avionics and spacecraft hardware, flying Cessnas, working around aircraft, or riding my Harley.
