As I have mentioned, I run in, with, and against many winds. I am in a few associations, work with various associations and agencies to help better the lives of others, and work against addictions and other issues that afflict people.

At the University (University of Wisconsin Oshkosh), I have been involved in several programs and groups that are focused on peer education of students and enhancing the quality of life for students, faculty/staff and the community. These include the Peer Resource Organization (PRO) and the C.A.R.E Program. PRO is a student peer education program that provides programing and educational activities focused on increasing the quality of student life and promoting healthy choices. C.A.R.E. is the Campus Acquaintance Rape Education peer group on campus and provides educational programs bringing awareness of risks and resources related to rape. I am also a member of the Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM). CISM is a response team that provides guidance towards psychological and emotional healing for groups of people who have experienced an unusual trauma. Such traumas would include the death of a classmate, dorm resident, member of faculty/staff or a dorm or house fire that involves the death of someone. There are many other conditions that would be considered critical incidents also: industrial accidents, evacuations, bad traffic accidents and the list goes on. The purpose of CISM is to help people quickly process the emotions and thoughts associated with the incident. This process has been proven to help reduce the risk or probability of Post Traumatic Stress related to the incident and helps people return to the normal routine of life more quickly.

I speak regularly (once a month) at a local AODA treatment center and occasionally at two area halfway houses as a part of my recovery program. I have also presented educational programs introducing Narcotics Anonymous to inmates of a local prison.

I am a member of the American Civil Liberties Union, Motorcycle Riders Foundation , ABATE of Wisconsin and American Motorcycle Association (AMA).

I am a Founding Member of Sober Bikers United (SBU). SBU is an international association of people who live and/or support those recovering from alcoholism/addiction and like motorcycles and the fellowship of other bikers in recovery. I am also the Web Master and Wisconsin State Rep of this association.

I am always available as an AA/NA speaker in classrooms and organizations at the University and in the community.
