My name is Blake, and I proudly served in the United States Navy. During my time in the military, I was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, and deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, and subsequent deployments on USS George Washington aircraft carrier. I was an aircraft mechanic on the E2C Hawkeye aircraft. I was doing things that most 19 year olds would only dream of.
I’m a disabled veteran who’s learned how to adapt, overcome, and keep moving forward—no matter what. Legally blind in one eye but still seeing just enough out of the other to stay a little dangerous.
These days, my mission is bigger than me. I dedicate my time to fundraising and supporting nonprofit organizations that make a real difference in children’s lives. Giving back isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am.
Proud to be a Freemason, a 32° KCCH Scottish Rite Mason, a York Rite Mason, and a Shriner—brotherhoods that stand for service, integrity, and helping those in need. If it benefits the kids, I’m all in.
You’ll also find me involved in the spirit and tradition of Mardi Gras, because life’s about balance—serving others while still celebrating the moments that bring people together.
We need you to help us support Blake. Whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, you can make a profound impact!
