The Story
From Florida
to Gaza - and back.
I was born in the U.S. and made Aliyah at twelve. That move changed everything - it gave me a country to love and, eventually, a reason to fight for it.
After nearly a decade of service as an elite IDF Reconnaissance Sniper and sniper instructor, I found myself deep inside Gaza during the 2023 Iron Swords War. On November 16th, 2023, my team was ambushed by Hamas. I survived a near-fatal RPG attack that I had no business walking away from.
That experience left me with two things: a long road back, and a story that people deserve to hear. I learned that a sniper and a sommelier are after the same thing - precision, patience, and a deep respect for the smallest details. I've learned to pour both into the same glass.
