"May God Always Bless You"

I feel very blessed to say that I've been a part of four USO Tours, and traveled to ten different countries within the past couple of years.


It was a life altering experience to say the least, and for as long as I live I will cherish the friends and memories I've made during my travels.

I have performed in Egypt, Bahrain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kuwait. I have developed a respect for our service men and women, that not even words could express. After my trip to Afghanistan and the Middle East, I learned to appreciate the little things
in life. Such as indoor restrooms with heat ( that aren't Co-ed), and showers with water pressure.

I learned that Floridians cant wear flip flops everywhere, especially in Afghanistan (j/k hehehaha JUDE!) But most importantly, no matter what happened nothing could compare to the joy I felt everytime I made a soldier smile and forget about his/her worries. I love you guys for what you do and what you believe in.

May God Always Bless You, Your Families and this WONDERFUL Country!
