I've been involved with JA for nearly 25 years.  I started teaching classes when I moved to the Fort Wayne area after college around 1996.  Excluding the pandemic, I've taught 1-3 classes a year including many for my kids.  I love working with young minds and giving them a different perspective from the typical book or learning they have in the classroom today.  

In addition, I've raised money for JA over the past 20+ years, the last 17 with the JA Golf Maraton.  With the help of my steadfast donors, I've led the fundraising efforts the past couple of years and have been a Top Fundraiser for the JA Golf Maraton.  I take the challenge each year and always give 110%!  While the goal is to fundraise and play 100 holes of golf...I always play 110...showing that I'm giving 110% of my efforts.  Whether you donate a flat dollar amount or a per hole pledge, I greatly appreciate your support, as do our future leaders!
