Where you are from, and when did you move to Charlotte?

I was born in NY but raised in Richmond, VA. After college, I lived in the Washington, DC area before moving down to Charlotte in 2014.

Favorite thing about Charlotte?

Charlotte has that big city feel but at a slightly slower pace. You've got everything you could need here - major sports teams, top notch food/bar/brewery scene, major airport, etc. And regardless of where you are, everything is pretty much a max 10 minute drive so it's easy to bounce around to different areas.

What motivates you to give back?

It's as easy as trying to leave the world a better place than I found it. I think if you have privilege of any kind, regardless of your beliefs or worldviews, service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth (I think Mohammed Ali might've actually said that last part).
