Affiliations
- Sneaker Restoration
I have been restoring desirable sneakers for over ten years now. I created a Facebook group called "Sneaker Restoration Marketplace," where fellow sneaker restorers share information about the trade. The group currently has over 50,000 members and is growing every day. The group doubles as a right to repair lobby against NIke as Nike sells defective shoes in order for the consumer to buy more. I plan to raise the case myself if I am given the opportunity.
Volunteering
- Volunteer Protestor
I volunteered for several protests during my time at Rutgers University–Newark, including the professor's union strike (seven days straight).
