Maximize prostate health through a Resilience Mindset

I share my cancer journey as a resilience survivor to empower others just beginning their survivor's

In 2016, I was diagnosed with stage 2b and treat for stage 3b prostate cancer. I spent 15-years preparing a resilience mindset and strategy before my prostate cancer diagnosis. I come from three-generations of prostate cancer, with two-generations of survivors. My end-game was to have the best quality of life post a successful prostate cancer treatment. I'm a 10-year prostate cancer resilience survivor living my best life.

In 2020, I became the President and co-founder on the Board of the Prostate Health Matters (Formerly known as Prostate Cancer Awareness Alliance-DMV (PCAA-DMV))– a non-profit focused on fostering awareness and proactivity in men about their prostate health with a primary goal of getting them to see their doctors

DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

I celebrate our 6-year journey of outreach excellence, having reached over 4,700 lives and families through our events and supported more than 540 PSA screenings in seven states.

I've partnered with three National Cancer Institute (NCI) hospital systems, in DC, MD, and NJ, to bring prostate health education to underserved communities - before a cancer diagnosis. And thanks to our message, some men have caught prostate cancer early and taken action.

In 2025, I’ve expanded to new communities in Atlanta, GA and New London, CT, continuing our mission to educate, support, and connect men and their families with life-saving resources. In 2026, we’re added two new states and cities - Greensboro, NC (February 21st) and Dallas, TX (March 28). I'm also the co-author of a book: Prostate Cancer - a Family Affair (available on Amazon).

I've been a prostate cancer advocate and professional speaker for the last six (6) years helping men and their families understand prostate health and what it means to establish a resilience mindset before the cancer diagnosis.
