Volunteering and athletics are a large part of my life. I am a huge supporter of participating in sports, and have played on a variety of teams since I was 6.  As a result I have volunteered at many sporting events.  Additionally, I try to give back as much as possible to my community and others through volunteering opportunities, including organizations such as the Bruce Denniston Bone Marrow Society and Help, Learn and Discover.  Furthermore, I have fund raised money for charities, such as Movember Foundation and Right to Play through events I created and organized.
