Tell
us about yourself.
I
was put on this Earth to serve people. That includes a dedication of my life to
healthcare and protecting the vulnerable. I love to spend time with loved ones
and be outdoors. Born and raised in south Louisiana, hospitality and family are
very important to me. I’m a very happy father of a 10-year-old daughter, who
means the world to me.
Have
you participated in the Don’t Quit Half Marathon & 5K before?
I
have! I ran the 5K in 2019 and absolutely love the message and the goal of the
run.
Why
are you running in this year’s Don’t Quit Half Marathon & 5K?
I
love to run and more importantly I love to run for reasons that I’m passionate
about. If I can run for those who cannot and help raise funds for a cause, then
I’m all about that.
What
does “Don’t Quit” mean to you?
Don’t
quit to me means that you can be knocked down or so tired to where you’re
crawling, but that’s ok. You don’t quit. Be present and understand that the
only thing you can control is the present moment. Live in and conquer it.
Do
you have any tips for someone who may be struggling with mental health issues?
Seek
professional help. Your friends will have the best intentions and love you, but
they can’t truly give you the help you need.
What
is your favorite inspirational quote that keeps you doing?
"Stay
committed to your decisions but stay flexible in your approach.” Tony
Robbins
