He is one of the founding board members of the Arizona Cardiac Arrest Survivors group where he served as the training and recognition director. He has years of experience in public speaking, recognition, instruction, CPR/AED advocacy, AED program implementation, and counseling.

His proudest accomplishment in life is being a father and husband.
