Meet the Board

I am a founding member of Team Arkansas and will continue my work to raise money to help fund research to find a cure for T1D as long as I am able.  My son was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 9 and I fight for a cure for him and for everyone who lives with T1D.

I’ve been cycling since 2022, and I recently joined Team AR 2024. This cause is super close to my heart because my best friend has two kids with Type 1 Diabetes. I’ve seen firsthand how much care, monitoring, concern, and stress this disease puts on the whole family. We desperately need a cure, and I’m so honored to be working with this team to make a difference.

My wife Korena and I are very proud to be a part of Team Arkansas to Cure T1D. We have two adult children who were both diagnosed at a very young age with T1D. We are working to make a difference and hoping for a cure.

I am just getting back into riding after a 5 year hiatus from Team Arkansas. My daughter Gabrielle was diagnosed with TD1 when she was 8 and I ride in her honor. 

I support T1D research because I’ve seen how deeply it has impacted my family and friends. I’m hopeful we will find a cure one day in the near future. 

I have been involved with Breakthrough T1D for decades, beginning with my marketing firm's annual support of the Arkansas chapter's "Imagine" fundraising gala. In 2015 my wife Melissa and I received the JDRF Living & Giving Award, recognizing our contributions to the organization's mission.

I support Team Arkansas to Cure T1D because I want to see a world where type 1 diabetes is a thing of the past.

I support Team Arkansas in honor of my nephew who has lived with T1D for many years.  It is time we find a cure!
