Philanthropy

I live by a strong set of values founded on my desire to make a profound difference for people and the planet. Through leadership, collaborative teamwork, mentorship, and philanthropic contribution, I seek to make a lasting impact on a variety of individuals and communities. Because of this, I continually involve myself in projects and initiatives to support and inspire others.

I am currently providing volunteer consulting to Birth2Work, a non-profit organization that brings together community stakeholder leaders (i.e., business, government, education, etc.) to help them define and align their core values and create strategies for collaboratively moving themselves successfully into a sustainable future. For three years, I served as chairman of a corporate diversity council, leading a team of employee volunteers to create diversity awareness workshops and events, as well as projects that involved employees in the community.

As a charter member (2005) of the Junior Board of Directors of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, I serve on the Executive Committee as Treasurer and am one of the largest fundraisers for the Fundraising and Special Events Committee. For six years, I was also a member of the Institutional Review Board for Howard Brown Health Center, whose purpose is to safeguard the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in scientific research.
