In stating what drew him to Variety, “I am VERY active in the community and I have been a resident of the Coachella Valley since 1978. I have enjoyed community involvement as a volunteer, with other not for profit organizations, and after volunteering at the bicycle presentation last year, I wanted to take the next step in being involved with Variety Club and it’s mission to make a difference in the lives of children.”
