“I am blessed with so much; a loving family, supportive friends, good health and two complementary careers that I love. This bounty of good fortune has made it easy to recognize the importance of giving back to others in need. I believe that by giving back to our community, we give back to the world making it a better place to live. Kind acts, no matter how small they may seem, become huge ripples that echo outward, growing and sustaining all generations to come.”
