My entire life has been centered around service to others. In my work as a Business Representative for the Carpenters Union, I advocate every day to improve the lives, opportunities, and working conditions of the people in my community. I’ve served on multiple boards focused on keeping our workforce strong, employed, and able to build a better living for their families. Volunteering with United Way is simply a continuation of what I’ve always believed in—lifting people up, strengthening our communities, and making sure working families have the support they need to thrive. This work aligns perfectly with the values I’ve carried throughout my career and my commitment to serving others.
