• My "Why" for Responder Relief Fund

I want to share something with you that has lived in my bones for over 30 years—a memory that refuses to fade.

In 1992, I was 26 years old, running my landscape business with the invincibility of youth. One of my employees had a father who owned a major construction company. When Hurricane Andrew ravaged Florida, he was invited to bid on rebuilding Homestead. He gathered subcontractors—including a wide-eyed kid like me—and flew us down on his private jet.

What I saw from the air stole my breath.

Miles and miles of nothing. Neighborhoods reduced to splinters. Schools, churches, homes—all flattened like a child’s block tower kicked over. The silence was the worst part. No birds, no laughter, just the hollow wind through broken beams. We landed in a warzone without bullets.

His company never got the contracts. But that flight home? I stared out the window at the ruins below, and something in me cracked open. A question started burning: Who helps the helpers when the unthinkable happens?

For three decades, that question followed me like a shadow. Through careers and life’s twists, I’d wake sometimes to the smell of wet lumber and chaos—that Florida air thick with loss.

Now, at this chapter of my life, I’m done waiting. Responder Relief Fund Corp isn’t just a nonprofit. It’s the answer I wish had existed when first responders dug through those ruins in ’92 with bleeding hands. It’s the promise that no firefighter, no EMT, no officer who runs toward disaster will ever face the aftermath alone.

I’m sharing this because I need you to feel why this matters. Not just understand it but carry it with you the way I still carry Homestead. If that resonates—if you too hear the echo of forgotten heroes in the wind—then let’s talk. Really talk. Not about spreadsheets or strategies, but about how we can build something that outlasts us both.

The jet landed long ago. But the journey? It’s just beginning.
