Community participation

I am passionate about multiple causes and volunteer my time and resources to various organizations including the Metropolitan Educational Theater (MET 2), City of Hope, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and various programs dealing with the recovery of drug and alcohol addiction.

Interests

    My wife, Shawna, and I are blessed to have 2 wonderful daughters. Olivia recently graduated from DePaul University in Chicago and Faith is currently in the process of applying to colleges. Much of our free time revolves around the shared excitement of parenthood, as Shawna and I wholeheartedly support our daughters in their various activities. Beyond the realm of parenting, our family cherishes the thrill of road trips that often lead us to the scenic beauty of Mammoth, the tranquil shores of the beach, or the invigorating atmosphere of a great concert.
