Philanthropy holds a special place in my heart as I dedicate time and energy to noble institutions championing economic empowerment. Among these esteemed organizations is the Gratitude Network, a distinguished social enterprise that cultivates leadership development, where I humbly served on the board. Similarly, I contribute to Sunflower Hill, a visionary endeavor that has successfully created two sustainable residential communities for extraordinary adults with unique needs.

As a long-standing Vistage V4 CEO group, I cherish the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant CEOs across the Vistage Network. My passion for knowledge sharing is further reflected in pro bono engagements, such as my honored invitation to speak for the UC Davis MBA Entrepreneur Program, where I share my wisdom in organizational evolution, design, talent assessment, succession planning, and recruiting strategies.
