A life changed.
A mission created.

In 2025, after a long battle with lupus, my kidneys failed. The news came on my eldest daughter’s 11th birthday. Within 48 hours, I began dialysis. Overnight, survival became scheduled. My life revolved around treatments, lab work, and uncertainty.

In the middle of that crisis, my family and community mobilized. My story was shared publicly. Within weeks, more than twenty people stepped forward to be tested. Four months into dialysis, I was told I had a donor. The average person waits three to five years and many never receive a living donor at all.

As I recovered, I saw the loneliness and hesitation many patients carry, the fear of asking, and the emotional weight of advocating while fighting for stability. I realized my transplant was not only the result of medical care. It was the result of structured advocacy and community activation.

Together with my wife, Melissa Laguerre, we founded Live, Love, and Prosper to ensure others would not have to navigate this journey alone. Our flagship program, Lifeline, transforms personal health battles into structured advocacy. It equips individuals to share their stories with dignity, mobilizes communities toward informed action, and fills the gaps patients face during moments of crisis.

Built from lived experience, LLP was designed to scale responsibly and invite partners, volunteers, and advocates to expand this mission nationally.

Because every life deserves advocacy. And every story deserves the chance to become a Lifeline.
