By serving others in the office and in the community my staff and I continually practice our commitment to giving and caring. Over the years we have given back to the Marin community in a variety of ways. I began my nonprofit public service career in 1990 as an original board member for the Performing Stars of Marin, which helps children develop their self esteem, self reliance and social skills www.performingstars.org.

With the assistance of friends in 1999, I founded the non-profit, The Young Men's Ultimate Weekend (www.ymuw.org), a modern, non religious rites of passage initiation that allows teenagers to face their fears and acquire the leadership skills necessary for a responsible adulthood. The YMUW has expanded with two boards of directors serving the Bay Area and provides workshops for parents, mentors, and divorced families. Our mission is to give families the knowledge, community resources, and support they need to create respectful and resourceful households.


I also donate time for a non – profit organization, The Center for Living Education, providing wellness workshops for Bay Areas businesses speaking on topics related to nutrition, stress management, organizational team - work and ergonomics. This is a partial list of local companies that I've enjoyed educating employees at: Chevron, Embassy Suites, Marin County Office of Education, Morgan Stanley, LifeHouse, Canyon Manor and Dominican University.

If you are a Marin County organization looking to provide an in – service workshop, please feel free to contact our office. There is no fee if the workshop is one hour or less. I also give half and full day workshops as well as staff trainings. A portion of my speaking fees are donated as community service to YMUW. Contact the office for more information.
