Hello! I’m a military veteran, pilot, filmmaker, mountaineer, motivational speaker, and endurance athlete. I’ve run 12 marathons, climbed Mount Denali, completed an Ironman 70.3, and served 13 years in the Air Force. From cooking to flying KC-135 missions, my journey is defined by challenges and growth. Born in Lithuania in 1988, I immigrated to the U.S. at 11 and enlisted in the Air Force at 18. Along the way, I embraced passions like marathons, snowboarding, and mountaineering, while earning a Master’s in Motion Pictures and Television. Now, as a motivational speaker, I share lessons from my experiences, emphasizing leadership, teamwork, and living with purpose. Inspired by my family’s work ethic, adventurous spirit, and respect for calculated risks, I encourage others to pursue their passions fully.
