Volunteer Experience

  • Carleton College Graphic

    Volunteer | Mentor

    Carleton College

    - Present 12 years

    Economic Empowerment

    Periodic mentoring of students and early career professionals in tech. Enjoy helping new Carleton grads get hired into Silicon Valley.

    In parallel, established an endowed fund to support student internships in high growth industries (e.g., unpaid or low paid internships at very early stage tech startups) as a way of creating a long run multiplier effect from sending graduates into promising careers who later direct philanthropy back to Carleton.

  • Camping & Education Foundation Graphic

    Volunteer | Mentor

    Camping & Education Foundation

    - Present 6 years

    Economic Empowerment

    Periodic mentoring of fellow alumni of two world-class summer camps that develop grit and other qualities through wilderness tripping (canoe trips in Canada and backpacking & climbing trips in the Rocky Mountains): Camp Kooch-i-Ching for boys & Camp Ogichi Daa Kwe for girls.

    Of note, the name of the girls camp was given by a local indigenous American woman of the Ojibwe nation: it means, "strong spirited woman." Gladly send tuition for our two daughters, and more.
