My wife and I both believe in helping others. I am a member of Richland Rotary which is a great community and international organization and I enjoyed being an active part of all that they do. Through Rotary I became involved with Rotaract and now Interact. Rotaract is Rotary for the 18-30 age group. I have truly enjoyed helping them grow their club and helping them with their community projects while raising money for their international project which is providing wells for drinking water. They have really made strides in the last year and great things are on the horizon.

I am an Ambassador for the Tri-City Regional Chamber. Promoting business in our community has a lasting impact on everyone and I cannot be more happy than to be a part of this organization.

I am also active in our Home Builder's Assocation and on the board of directors of the Sales & Marketing Council. The housing industry provides a lot of jobs in our community and a lot of homes for families. These organizations do great things for small businesses and entrepreneurs in our community. The strength of these organizations is yet another sign of the strength of our community of which I am proud to be a member.
