I am starting a high-end fragrance business. High-end meaning all natural products, sustainable products, and long lasting scents that will be sure to boost confidence and mood. In the last year I have been treated for anxiety and since then I have found a passion for cologne, perfumes, and candles. I decided to embark on my own journey to create happiness through fragrances. 

My second motivating factor is my growing family. My wife and I have welcomed our first daughter last spring and are expecting a second child in 2026. Our daughter has become very close to our family dog, Rocky (half pit, half lab), and her love of animals and nature has exploded in recent months. I would like to provide her the means to do some good in this world. I have been serving in the US Military for 12 years now, and my pay will not offer her the opportunities I would like to create for her. Through Spades, I would like to create a life of giving back and creating a better world for her children some day. 

I am looking for support, through you all, to make this vision into a reality. I have been saving for this venture and am finally at the point where I have engaged a manufacturer to develop a project, however I need a small bit of help getting over the finish line.
