Vincent is a strong advocate for the fight against cancer and advancing the quality of life of patients and their families. Vincent was recently affected when a close friend announced last year she was diagnosed with breast cancer for a third time. Her strength and determination to beat cancer three times inspired Vincent that the impossible is possible. Vincent recently co-founded the Denver chapter of The Ryan Gibson Foundation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to finding a cure for Leukemia. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of a dedicated team in search for a cure.
