About Us
Blessed to be a Blessing
About Us
We are a husband and wife who have proudly served our country as U.S. military veterans—and today, we continue our service through faith, family, and purpose. Alongside our two sons, we’re building a legacy greater than ourselves: a generational mission rooted in love, healing, and hope.
The Castle Bell Hope Project was born from a sacred calling to be a blessing to others, just as God has so graciously blessed us. This is more than a mission—it’s our family’s way of life. Every step we take is intentional and guided by a commitment to restore, uplift, and empower.
For us, service didn’t end when the uniform came off. It continues in how we show up, how we create space for others to heal, and how we raise the next generation to lead with heart and courage.
