Advocate
I support causes that have touched my life in the hope that in some small way, I can facilitate change or raise awareness.
I hope there will be a cure or treatment for food allergies in my lifetime. Visit No Tree Nuts, the site I built to support those with severe nut allergies, like my daughter.
I also support efforts to help children born with cleft lip and cleft palate in the U.S. and around the world. Visit the Operation Smile website to learn more about the great work they do.
