For the past 9 months I lead a volunteer project through the Methodist Disaster Relief Organization to help re-build a home that was flooded after Hurricane Matthew. I had full responsibility for the project. I was able to recruit others from the Nascar industry as well as other friends to help with this project. Our team made approximately 25 trips to

Lumberton since the start of the project and we are approximately 2 trips away

from a successful completion. I worked with many contractors and construction crews on a wide range of projects.
