I’m passionate about:
Encouraging Everyday People make informed decisions that impact their lives and communities.

Otters, puppies, baby elephants and alpacas
If I had $10 million:
I’d set up multiple scholarships and grants so everyone who wanted a degree or workforce credential could afford to continue their education and have enjoyable and economically viable work lives. I’d also buy a few houses for my family and me to live close to each other. Then I’d travel the world, starting with several African countries.
