His role in the woodshop includes teaching classes, ensuring all machines are running safely, and making merchandise for the Hub Store.

After graduating with a degree in Recreation and Parks Administration, he had various jobs across the country, including full-time volunteering for almost two years with Heifer International in Arkansas and Massachusetts.
