Heart disease has affected my family in significant ways. In 2024, my brother tragically passed away from a cardiac event at the age of 41, leaving behind his wife and three young boys. Additionally, my father survived a potentially fatal heart attack in the fall of 2025.

I’ve joined the Northeast Ohio Board of Directors for the American Heart Association—a position that holds special significance for me. The passing of my brother, and the near passing of my father, has strengthened my dedication to advancing the AHA’s mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.

I Walk to Save Lives. So please, help me reach my goal today.
