FinalistBio
My life goal is to break cycles, protect others, and lead by example — both as a father and a law enforcement officer. I’m passionate about making a real impact in my community, especially by mentoring the next generation and serving with integrity. I’ve faced tough challenges, like fighting for custody of my son while raising three kids, but I’ve turned that pain into purpose. I’m also a lifelong learner and a Criminal Justice Instructor, constantly training and leveling up like the anime heroes I admire — blending strength with honor. My hobbies, like jiu jitsu and gaming, fuel my discipline and strategic thinking. I want to succeed, not just for myself, but to inspire others. I’m living proof that no matter your past, you can rise up, stay committed, and lead with purpose. I’m not just here to chase opportunity — I’m here to earn it, honor it, and one day create it for others.
