Why do you love Goodwill and choose to serve on the board?
My life has evolved to be one of community service and entrepreneurial engagement, so Goodwill's mission aligns well with me. We are transforming the lives of the folks who come through the training and educational programs we offer. We have a tremendous positive impact on these people. I also love the work that Goodwill does with veterans. I was in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves and served six years in U.S. Air Force, myself, so that is important to me.

Why do you love Goodwill and choose to serve on the board?
Communities are strengthened when more citizens participate in the growth of the local economy. Donating gently used and new items or shopping at a local Goodwill Retail Store are the two things everyone can do to support Goodwill’s mission and vision. I grew up in Charleston having the “will to do good” for my family, friends and community. Serving on the board of Palmetto Goodwill allows me to continue on that path. I look forward to working with a group of like minded people with a heart for service.
