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

I am from Rochester NY and moved to Charlotte 5 years ago

Favorite thing about Charlotte?

Favorite thing about Charlotte is that it is always changing for the better and you can actually see growth within the local communities. I also really appreciate how kind and friendly people are in Charlotte. Coming from Boston and the North East it was amazing to see how kind people can actually be towards one another and want to actually help each other for the greater good!

What motivates you to give back?

What motivates me to give back is my friends and family. I come from a close family and we always tried to be active in our community and help out our neighbors or people in need. Growing up in the city of Rochester I saw first hand run down communities and troubled areas. Seeing how young kids would be put in bad situations just because where they were from and I always wanted to help. Providing time or energy to help out people in your community is so important and to lead by example so others will follow.
