A Businesses Who Care National Sponsor

Overview
About Me :
I work in the web department at Food For The Poor. The second largest international charity in the United States, Food For The Poor serves deserving individuals throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Helping the voiceless have a voice is a passion of mine. So many are disadvantaged based on where they were born. Yet the stretch of land a person is born can be a path to prosperity or a sentence in poverty. I want to do my part to change that.
Things I Like to Do For Fun
Travel, play guitar, surf, watch movies, drink wine. Nothing too spectacular.
Issue(s) I am Passionate About
Fighting poverty across the globe. It's what I do for a living, and it is what I live to do.
An Issue I Would Like to Learn More About
I'd hate to single out a single issue: I'm always up for learning something new.
My Personal Hero(s)
My Father
My Favorite Movies
I watch too many movies to choose a favorite. Maybe a classic...like Top Gun.
My Favorite Music
Jeff Buckley
My Favorite Books
Im currently reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves to hopefully give me better punctuation.
Schools
Loyola University Chicago
Chicago, IL
From Sep, 2002 to Jun, 2006
What I Do For a Living
Food For The Poor - Coconut Creek FL
Title : Web Marketing Associate - Anything having to do with the WWW
After traveling to Haiti twice, I have seen first hand the change Food For The Poor serves in deserving people's lives. It is amazing when I think about who I actually work for: the impoverished people of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Nonprofit Friends
Causes And Collaboration
About My Causes
Food For The Poor is the second largest international charity in the United States. Food For The Poor does much more than simply feed the poor, however. In addition to food, Food For The Poor offers projects in medical care, housing, education, fishing villages, water, orphanages, just to name a few.
I Donate to these nonprofits:
Food For The Poor, and other charities that have high efficiency ratings on Charity Navigator.
Other Ways I Make a Difference in My Community and the World
I try to commit as many acts of random kindness as I can.
People I Would Like to Collaborate With
I'm looking to connect with anyone who has a passion for change and wants to leave this earth better than how they found it.
Projects I Would Like to Collaborate on
Anything from the enviroment to feeding the poor. I'm pretty open to collaboration on a lot of levels.
Projects I Need Help On
Trees For Haiti. I really believe this is an incredible project: Providing hungry Haitiens with a sustainable food source and also reforesting the barren land of Haiti for such a little cost.
Ideas I would Like to Share
$3 can feed a child for a month. $10 can plant a tree, providing a sustained, healthy food source and helping make the Earth green.

It's so easy to help. I just want people to realize that. It's so easy to help.
