Institutions survive because people keep doing the unglamorous work.

Community work has included nonprofit health care, disability sports, schools, youth activities, housing and homelessness organizations, amateur-radio education and cultural programming.

Special Olympics and disability sports

Coaching and organizational work grew into long-term advocacy for accessible athletic opportunities and local events.

Nonprofit work

Boards, budgets, logistics and the administrative work that turns goodwill into durable service.

Rosas de María

Ballet Folklórico Rosas de María — Seeds of Tradition is a separate 501(c)(3) organization with its own board, programs and identity. The project grew from family and community participation into an institution intended to last beyond any one person.
