My why is simple: I believe in giving back.

Habitat for Humanity has stayed with me since I was young. I remember seeing the commercials and thinking that someday I wanted to be part of helping families have a place to call home.

When a friend down the street lost his home in a fire, I grabbed a Folgers can and walked around collecting whatever I could to help. I don’t remember how much I raised, but I remember how it felt to do something for someone who needed it.

That feeling never left me.

Today, Habitat gives me the opportunity to continue that same purpose—bringing people together, giving back to our community, and helping families build a place to call home.

That’s my why. ❤️
