For almost 30 years, Ham Radio has been my way to give back. From emergency preparedness to field reconnaissance and recovery, I’ve volunteered as communication is key. In times of need, a transmission carries more than words, it carries hope.

I’ve made this a habit: if a JCF officer or security guard is in a cashier line directly in front or behind me with a few work snacks, I quietly cover their bill.
