A Businesses Who Care National Sponsor

Overview
About Me :
I am dedicated to learning more about the non-profit world and becoming involved with helping those in need. I strongly believe in non-profit organizations such as The Rock Foundation.
Things I Like to Do For Fun
I go to the movies with my wife and a small circle of friends or just hang out at home in the pajamas. I also enjoy getting onstage and acting, whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Issue(s) I am Passionate About
I'm very passionate about the future of our children. As a minority working in an higher education, I see that children are not properly prepared. It's important to not have the eco-sociological elements affect our children, though they are big distractions to them. With these distractions come failure...with failure comes concern. The children are our future societal leaders and every child deserves a chance in life.
An Issue I Would Like to Learn More About
I'd love to learn more about non-profit and philanthropy. I have worked for non-profit oraganizations at the lowest level, but am more interested in how they work. As far as philanthropy, I just love helping wherever I can. I don't have money, but I have passion for people. I am in pursuit of my Master of Public Administration degree and hope to do some good with it.
My Personal Hero(s)
My mom and my dad (may he rest in peace), my loving wife and God! Lastly, those troop who fight for us everyday. As a former Army guy, I have nothing but love and respect for them.
My Favorite Movies
Collateral, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Wizard of Oz, The Departed, Magnolia, The Game Plan, Be Cool, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Ray, Grid Iron Gang
My Favorite Music
Jazz, Rock, R & B, Hip Hop...I have an ecclectic taste.
My Favorite Books
Tuesdays with Morrie, 1984, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, Black Like Me, The Bible...more to come!
Schools
Binghamton University
Binghamton, NY
From Sep, 2008 to none
I haven't gone there yet. The challenge is one that I embrace!
SUNY College at Oneonta
Oneonta, NY
From Sep, 2004 to Jun, 2006
It was an experience that allowed me to interact and collaborate with others to achieve a common goal, despite our obvious and hidden differences.
What I Do For a Living
SUNY College at Oneonta - Oneonta NY
Title : EOP Recruiter/Counselor - Counsel and recruit
I reach out to young adults who are from disadvantaged backgrounds. These young men and women are from poor families and are affected because of the lack of support from their communities.
Nonprofit Friends
Causes And Collaboration
I Donate to these nonprofits:
Good Will, Salvation Army
I Volunteer at These Nonprofits
Chenango River Theatre. My wife and I are very active in providing services for this theatre, so that it can function and provide community entertainment.
Other Ways I Would Like to Make a Difference
I'm ashamed to say, but I haven't made much of a difference. It's time for me to walk the walk and do more by giving more of myself to my community.
People I Would Like to Collaborate With
I would love to collaborate with people who are sincere, passionate and willing to go the distance for those people who are disadvantaged.
Projects I Would Like to Collaborate on
I would like to collaborate on any project that I can.
Nonprofits I Would Like to Collaborate With
The Rock Foundation! I would also like to collaborate with nonprofits that are truly dedicated to helping...not to those who are about public image.
