The Heroes Cup has become a meaningful part of my year, and I’m proud to be returning again for the 2026 season!

Hello everyone! After a long New Hampshire winter, I'm excited to announce that I'm returning for another Heroes Cup season!

On July 31, 2026 I will be participating in the annual Heroes Cup at Holman Stadium in Nashua as a pitcher for Team Finest (Police) representing the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, where I have served for over eight years. I will once again be wearing #12.

The Heroes Cup brings together New Hampshire’s law enforcement community and first responders in a competitive baseball game between Team Finest and Team Bravest. While the event is built on friendly rivalry, its purpose is far greater than the outcome on the field. The game serves as a fundraiser for Special Olympics New Hampshire, supporting more than 2,600 athletes across the state.

These programs provide year-round sports training, competitive opportunities, health and wellness initiatives, and inclusive experiences that have a lasting impact on athletes, their families, and the broader community. Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to contribute to this mission through individual fundraising efforts, raising nearly $10,000 to date. That support goes directly toward sustaining and expanding programs that create opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to grow, compete, and be part of a strong and inclusive community. Participation in the Heroes Cup requires commitment both on and off the field. Each player takes on a fundraising role in addition to preparing for the game, reinforcing the purpose behind the event and the impact it has statewide.

I am looking forward to continuing that commitment this season and being part of another successful event. The Heroes Cup remains a strong example of what can be accomplished when public service, community engagement, and a shared cause come together. Thank you for taking the time to read and for your continued support of initiatives that strengthen our community.
