What inspires you to volunteer?
Commitment to the mission of the organization and to the dedicated staff & volunteers
If your volunteer work could make one long-lasting change, what would you want it to be?
To provide a long term base of funding — if I could only win the lottery! but I would have to play and I don’t.
What is a little-known fact about you?
I used to ride horses (English, not Western) and compete.
What brought you to Charlottesville/Albemarle County?
I grew up in Akron, Ohio and one of the things I love about C’ville (besides the glorious natural beauty) is the small town community feeling and support from friends & neighbors.
