What inspired you to become a part of United Way? 

Over the last year or two I have been searching for an opportunity that would allow me to give back to our community. The United Way was a perfect fit for me personally because it sits at the intersection of my passions and my ability to add value through my business background.

Why do you serve on the board? 

I am inspired by the work the United Way team is doing in our community. Day in and day out they are addressing some of the most significant local needs around health, education and financial stability. Through my role on the board I hope to make a personal contribution that can also leave lasting impact.

What is your most memorable volunteer experience? 

Two of my favorite local volunteering experiences have been participating in the United Way Rake-a-Difference event and taking part in local Habitat for Humanity builds.

What is your motto / leadership philosophy? 

Don't just count your blessings, be a blessing others can count on.
