Community Service

I enjoy public service. I have always been involved in projects and causes that are public in nature. A substantial part of my professional life is and has been spent providing pro bono time, advice, funds and effort to improve the community. I do that because it betters the lives of others, and it allows me to use the education and skills I have honed to their fullest. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
