The Goal

This foundation began with a simple inspiration: to help people find their way toward a brighter future. It started as a vision to support children, but over time it has grown to include anyone, young or old, who needs a helping hand. At first, my idea was to provide tools and equipment, such as welding helmets or gloves, to help people begin their careers in the trades.

However, after a conversation with my welding instructor, my perspective expanded. He asked me, "What is one thing everyone could use, no matter their trade?" I thought for a moment and suggested a tape measure or maybe a pen. He smiled, pointed down at my feet, and said, "Boots. No matter what path you take, you will always need a good pair of boots." That simple truth stayed with me. A good pair of work boots can represent readiness, confidence, and the first step toward a new beginning.

With that in mind, I am starting this program to provide sturdy and reliable steel-toe boots to individuals who need them, people who are ready to work hard and build a better future for themselves. To learn more about the foundation or to donate, please reach out via email.
