I am involved with a nonprofit organization called Fishers Of Men West Coast. The main objective of this organization is to raise money to put shoes on children who may not otherwise be able to afford them. The money is raised several different ways, including donations, fundraisers, and most notably Fishing tournaments that use all the profits to purchase shoes, clothing, reading glasses, and Bibles to be distributed in communities where they may not be available.

I also volunteer with a group that takes under privileged children, mostly from the Olive Crest foundation out on the ocean to get them away from their daily routine, and maybe get them interested in Fishing to keep them out of trouble.

I’m also a regular volunteer for Riverside County Parks department when they host the kids fishing derby at our local lake, at Jurupa Regional Park.
