How long at Y: 15 years

Favorite thing about working with Y: Every work day is unique and it brings opportunities to engage people or an organization about the Y mission.  It doesn’t get routine

Greatest Accomplishment: For the Y, the work I did with the teens in the Youth & Government program.  To see a teen become engaged in making a difference in their community and empowering them to use their voice as a tool for change instead of violence is life-changing, a tremendous gift

Motto: I want to be thoroughly used when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live.  Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch with I have got a hold of for the moment.  And I want to make it burn as brightly as possible.  – George Bernard Shaw

Favorite Austin Activity/Hot Spot: Being active, enjoying the outdoors

Favorite Movie:  Shawshank Redemption

Cats or Dogs: I like both, but I prefer dogs
