Origins

I stand before you today as a young man who, in a lot of ways, is a puzzle—made by the world around me. Each piece of this puzzle has been meticulously shaped by my surroundings and experiences. And the connections along the way, small and large, have come together, to make me who I am today. I was connected piece by piece by the daily interactions and of intricate people I encountered along the way. It is my passion to pass on the kindness that my family and friends have shown me, sharing it with others in the community. I stand before you today as a young man who wants to help connect the pieces — pieces that will help you grow, just as I have.
