"I’m passionate about supporting students in their pursuit of higher education, as well as helping the less fortunate in our community. As the Founder of the Anderson Family Foundation, I lead our efforts to raise funds that provide essential resources like school supplies, food for the homeless, and assistance to veterans."
I proudly served in the U.S. Army, retiring in 2015. During my service, I held various leadership roles, including NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer), where I guided soldiers on career choices and ensured their families were supported.
Through the Anderson Family Foundation, I focus on helping students prepare for higher education and vocational training, by providing back-to-school supplies, and supporting local families. I also work to feed the homeless and collaborate with veterans, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
In my free time, I enjoy fishing, camping, and tailgating at races and football games. One of my greatest joys is riding my motorcycle across country. I also love perfecting my BBQ skills at family gatherings.
As a Retention NCO/Career Counselor in the Army, I helped soldiers navigate their futures and was recognized for two counselor of the year awards. Post-retirement, I’ve served as the president of my fraternity's local 501(c)(3) board, working to establish partnerships with local businesses and colleges to support local families in need.
