“ Home ownership changes the trajectory of a family in a tremendous way. Parents who work and provide sweat equity in building their home for the family significantly increases those parent's self-image. Children can see the parents as a type of hero by providing a warm and safe environment and witnesses the hard work it takes to get there. In turn this helps our community grow and thrive. This is the reason I want to be involved in this organization, it's all about the helping families and the community become stronger. I've always admired what Habitat does and now I'm involved and looking forward to all the ways I can assist this wonderful organization.“

One of my defining characteristics is an overall appreciation for life. Having overcome significant trauma in my life has given me a real compassion for people in need as well. Being a part of the Habitat for Humanity is just one of the ways that I’m able to give back to the community. Through building homes for low income families and partnering with them in initiatives such as “A Brush With Kindness,” we’re able to meet these families where they’re at and provide life changing opportunities. My goal is to add value to the organization by committing my time and talents, serving the community, and seeking out access to funds that will enable us to continue our mission.

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I truly believe that owning a home still remains the American dream and should be an option available to all grant county residents. My mission is to help Habitat expand this dream throughout our county.”

“ I first met the board in 2017 when I was invited to their annual Festival of Trees fundraiser. In the spring of 2018 I was asked to join the board and have loved it ever since. I love being part of a nonprofit in our community that strives to build affordable housing is rewarding and helps bring happiness to families in need. I am building a safe, sturdy and secure home for a family — not only for now but for the next generation.”

“I was introduced to Habitat for Humanity when I started in real estate back in the early 90’s. I instantly fell in love with the mission and have always wanted to somehow take an active part in it. Then, about 4 years ago, I was so excited when I was invited to come to a meeting and consider being a board member. Needless to say, I jumped all over the opportunity. Why Habitat though? The desire to see others succeed, to feel comfort and security, to make someone's life just a little bit better. All of these things are brought together when someone is able to provide a home for their family and it’s such a beautiful thing. Habitat builds hope for so many and sometimes hope is everything. That is why this organization has always had a piece of my heart.”
