I am originally from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and have lived in So Cal for 50 years.
My career has been primarily in sales & marketing for various products and services.
In 2009, I received a calling to start a program designed to take special needs children ocean fishing and named it Fish for Life!
The program is unique, and the therapeutic benefits are tremendous for the special needs kids ages 8-21, their parents, and all the volunteers.
My vision, with the help of strong leadership in multiple ports, is to scale the program nationwide and beyond.
If you are interested in getting involved or in a position to help our cause, contact me and let’s talk.
