Volunteers Coordinator 

 Served in the Marine Corps as a 2311 Ammunition Technician Specialist. After getting out in early 2020, I found myself without direction or purpose. Paintball became my outlet—a way to decompress and reconnect. For years, I struggled to find something meaningful until I discovered OFP. Now, as the Volunteers Coordinator, I’m committed to helping others experience the same sense of freedom and brotherhood that OFP gave me.
