Those who know me know that chronic kidney disease is something deeply personal to me. While a cure may not be found in our lifetime, I’m determined to contribute in any way I can to help move research and sustainable treatment forward for those living with CKD. I’ve been blessed with certain gifts and passions, and I believe the best way to honor them is by using them to support this cause.

My wife, Sharon, constantly reminds me that there’s more to life than chasing personal goals—that true fulfillment comes from helping others achieve theirs and to contribute to something bigger than myself. I hope doing this will not only help her, but everyone else who needs it.

I’m still new to this journey and figuring things out as I go, but I hope this is a meaningful start. Thank you for your continued support—it truly means the world.
