He furthered these projects with successful financial development and government and foundation grants.

Committed to improving the lives of others and addressing the resulting community needs, he has used his influence in funding and developing new programs and services. This has included departments within his agency that addressed the needs of older adults; especially through continuing education, exploration of the arts and advocacy for services to assist older adults to thrive and remain in their homes.
