I live by the adage "to whom much is given, much is required." I've been extremely fortunate (in my private and professional life) to have had many people invest in me, and I feel compelled to reinvest my life into worthwhile causes that improve my community. More recently my career has turned towards helping family-owned businesses stay profitable in a rapidly-changing economy. When communities thrive, the people in them can have the lives they want to live: and that is a goal worth pursuing.
