I attribute my desire to volunteer, coach, and teach to my mom and dad. I grew up around two parents that loved each other, their two sons, and their community, they volunteered at my schools and with coaching my youth teams. I learned a great deal about empathy and humanity by watching my parents interact with people, how to be kind, and treat people with respect.
Here are a few photos of some experiences I’ve had around the world. But first a major part of my WHY, my dad as my coach taught me and set the bar high. ( John Manusharow in the black shirt) as my coach. – Find me?

LAOS
Community outreach, meeting and working with people in a village not only bridges nationalities, but sparks interest in life outside the bubble. Soccer seems to be loved sport in Laos and many of the youth and adults play every day before sunset. I’ve had the pleasure to be invited to learn about life from these locals.
Community outreach. It is amazing what you can learn from other cultures and people. The guys that I sat and talked with the elder Monk directly to my left was the one who asked me to come teach. basic English, almost any English speaker can do this.
