I am passionate about seeing people who are broken become whole and for helping people to understand what their value is and who they truly are. My brother was in the Army for 15 years and was deployed five times to the middle east. I have seen him struggle through many things as a vet. It breaks my heart to see that our Warriors are not treated the way they deserve to be treated.  I love the mission behind Warriors Heart. Healing the whole person is a beautiful thing.
