I moved to Missouri when I was stationed at FLW in 2010. I served 10 years in the Army as a medic. In 2013 I was medically retired after being diagnosed with a muscle disorder.
2014, I opened Carved In Grain doing CNC wood carving for plaques/home decor. A few years later, I had become severely ill and had to shut down the operation. I spent nearly 2 years recovering.
2018, I became a Kitten Division volunteer. There I learned about the need to help cats out in the community so I learned to trap and headed their Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) program as well as rescues of sick/injured cats.
November 2021, I founded a nonprofit, TNR Patrol, to bring a greater focus on curbing the rapid growth of colonies, assisting people overwhelmed financially with unintended litters of kittens, and general education to let more people know that help is out there to humanely deal with their kitty problems before they spiral out of control.
