Today in the local Point Pleasant area newspaper, The Ocean Star featured me in their weekly People Profile.

I will admit that I was a bit nervous and not sure I was worthy of such a feature. In early 2009 I was asked to be profiled and had declined as I was not comfortable with what I thought could be self promotion. Well a lot has happened since then and I have realized that an opportunity like this is something I should NOT pass up and in the end it is not about me at all…..it is about doing something and making a difference….and not talking about it.

With all the causes and difficult times we all face I felt that I could not sit on the sidelines and talk, second guess, arm chair quarterback, I knew I needed to get out there and “do something about something” and make a difference.

Yes, my son has Autism and that is my main focus, however I have also been blessed in meeting others that are also “doing something” about a cause close to them and that are helping others.  This group is what I have come to call – The Difference Makers –. Seth Grumet of Stomp the Monster and James Armstrong of Soldiers Race Team are two that come to mind.

I also want to Thank my family and friends for all they have done for me and for being there during good and challenging times…..I am truly blessed.

Check out the article below, consider Joining our team for Autism and if nothing else get off the sidelines and ….Be a difference Maker!
