VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

I spent two summers in Juarez, Mexico where my responsibilities were to lead groups of twenty or more in building a small house in just three days. Not only was this a life changing experience, but it also brought out the drive that I have to finish the job and to do it the right way. More recently, I have made a few weekend trips to the Beaumont, TX area to help rebuild the houses that were heavily damaged in Hurricane Ike.
