03 / OUR STORY

It started
with a
promise.

In 2013, my seven-year-old son suffered a brain bleed and was placed in a medically induced coma. Beside his hospital bed, I asked God to save him. I promised to give back and tell his story.

The idea for Dash came in 2016. I launched it in 2019.

Dash represents the space between the dates on a headstone—the life we live and the impact we leave.
