Beyond Service
I work very hard outside of my day job as well and have a number of charitable organizations that I work with, president, or am on the board of. I enjoy providing disaster relief and helping others. I help out by responding to emergency situations, providing immediate assistance to affected individuals. Some of this is through my ties back to aviation background by providing search and rescue. Images for FEMA to assess damages. Moving blood donations around the state. And many other ways.

One of my favorite things to do is promote aviation to young people with the Civil Air Patrol and EAA young eagles. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone that is terrified of flying and before the hour is up they are flying and having a great time.
