Why you’re proud to be a Trustee of Arm in Arm:

I’m proud to serve on the AIAIA Board because the organization embodies the values that matter to me—compassion, service, self reliance and global connection. My wife Maggie and I were deeply moved during the 2025 delegation to South Africa by the warmth, generosity, and spirit of the people we met. That experience left a lasting impression and strengthened my commitment to supporting AIAIA’s mission.

Having spent my entire career in healthcare, I feel a connection to the work AIAIA does to uplift communities and support health, education and food initiatives. I hope to contribute in a meaningful way by sharing the financial management and administrative skills I’ve developed over the years. At this stage in my life, I’m focused on dedicating my time and energy to organizations that are truly making a difference—AIAIA is one of those rare, impactful organizations, and I’m honored to be part of its work.
