Company: Mayor, City of Richardson, TX
What makes you feel connected to Susan G. Komen and our mission to end breast cancer? I lost my mother to cancer at an early age, so this mission is deeply personal. As a husband, father and public servant, I believe protecting the health of women strengthens entire communities. Susan G. Komen's work - advancing research, access, and care - represents hope that fewer families will experience that loss.
What makes you VIPink? Being VIPink allows me to honor my mother's memory through action. I believe leadership means using your platform for good, and I'm committed to raising awareness and support so more families have better outcomes, better access to care, and more hope.
What will be your competitive edge against your fellow ambassadors? Relationships. I spend my days connecting people across business, nonprofit, and community spaces. I know I can count on that network - and a little friendly competition - to bring new supporters into the fold and turn awareness into real impact.
Give us one fun fact about you. I am a lifelong community builder - and I genuinely enjoy turning meaningful causes into movements that bring people together for good.
