I have led and worked with volunteers and developed volunteer programs through nonprofit and government organizations for 20 years and going. I am also a professional communicator for over 17 years. Not only do I work with volunteers, but I also volunteer my time and energy. I volunteer with Yavapai Soccer League as a Coach and Board Member. I am also an active volunteer with my daughter's Girl Scout troop. You can usually find me sitting in my lawn chair behind the cookie booth during cookie season. My wife's name is Liz and we have two kids, a dog, and two cockatiels.

My favorite quote: "Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee
