I've recently retired and am spending time working on something that means a lot to me—preserving the memory of family.

After careers in the United States Navy and federal service, I've turned my attention to genealogy, tracing both sides of my family tree. Managing "Find a Grave" memorials has become an important way for me to honor the lives of my relatives, share their stories, and keep their memory alive for future generations.

Through genealogical research and memorial management on "Find a Grave," I aim to ensure accuracy of data and preserve not just names and dates, but the broader story of our family—where we came from, how we lived, and what we passed on.

∼Each memorial is a small piece of a larger historical tapestry, and I'm glad to be able to participate in helping to ensure those threads are not lost with time.
