Experience

1. Founder & President

   Parkside Response Outreach, Inc

   Jun 2025 — Present · Cape Coral, FL, US

   As Founder and President of Parkside Response Outreach, a 501(c)(3) disaster relief organization, I lead a Christ-centered mission to bring hope, help, and restoration to communities impacted by natural disasters. Born out of Cape Christian’s Hurricane Ian response, PRO mobilizes trained volunteers and essential resources to respond rapidly with compassion — providing debris removal, home muck-outs, roof tarping, and distribution of emergency supplies across Southwest Florida and beyond.My role involves building partnerships with churches, local governments, and relief networks, while equipping volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus when it matters most.
