Touching Lives & Making a Difference
 "Life
is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others"
-Helen Keller
I have been an avid volunteer for the past 35 years! When I was a little girl, I began spending time visiting nursing homes and a variety of non-profit organizations with my mother, who inspired my passion for helping others. This is an important part of my life and I constantly strive to plant seeds for this desire into the hearts of my sons. Leading by example for our youth, is one of the best gifts we can give back to our communities!
