This passion was not being fulfilled with the oddball jobs I was doing so in 2014 I joined the United States Army. During my seven-year career, I was honored with the ability to help grow and develop my peers as well as discovered an amazing little town in Alabama in which I could be involved in the community. I discovered in this little town how passionate our prior generations were about preserv
ing history and ensuring connections from their generation to each generation that followed. I witnessed genuine care for one another in this community and those placing each other’s needs before their own, even when dealing with their own hardships. These people and this little town were an inspiration and sparked my passion for helping people even further. In September of 2021, my life changed, and the Army’s medical personnel determined my Army career would come to an end, and I would be medically retired. Although I never saw myself not in the Military, God had other plans for me and a new chapter in my life was about to begin. While trying to determine my new path my mom offered to help me get a position with her at American Senior Benefits. At first, I was not too thrilled with the position, but very quickly I saw the impact I could make in the lives of that generation that had inspired me so much. The fulfillment didn’t only show me that with this position I could help the older generations but also, that other veterans could use my assistance as well. This position has become more than I could have ever asked for, I love meeting everyone and developing new relationships and ensuring that you and your family have a good understanding of what you have earned during your lifetime, and making sure you get every bit of help you earned and deserve.
