To leave the world a bit better...this is to have succeeded.  – Emerson

Long before my heart was invested in helping clients fulfill their business dreams, I served as a congressional intern. This training ingrained in me a philosophy of recognizing a need then setting out to answer it – a drive which inspired me to develop and implement two programs to help those less fortunate:

• The Reilly Program For Disadvantage Youth - in which university students spend time with children from the impoverished town of Reilly, OH, keeping the at-risk youth off the streets and guiding them toward more fulfilling and positive life choices.

• Sammy Fight Night For the Pediatric AIDS Foundation - which for nearly two decades remained the largest philanthropic event on the entire Miami University campus.

In addition, I have partnered with numerous charitable and green causes including:

• Kure It Cancer Research

• Share Ourselves SOS Community Food Bank

• Toys For Tots

• Coastal Recycling

• Cintas Recycling

• Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence
