Volunteering

Boy Scouts of America – Scouts meant a lot to me growing up. Now, I love giving back and sharing with youth those same opportunities that

were given to me by my mentors. My favorite part of Scouting is helping young people overcome a challenge, like rappelling down a cliff,

to help them discover they have it within themselves to do difficult things. Eagle Scout, 1994. Silver Beaver, 2018.

Climbing & Rappelling – Several times a year I facilitate climbing and rappelling activities for church, Scout, and other youth groups.
