Covey has such a special place in my heart. In living out their mission, they do so much to promote the dignity of the human person and celebrate diversity in all its forms. I hope to serve Covey by sharing great communication on our mission and activities. Covey is doing amazing things and we want to make that relevant and visible to everyone, not just clients, in the communities we serve.

A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to assisting school districts comply with special education requirements. My nephew, Hunter, was severely autistic. He was an inspiration to my wife and me. So much so, that my wife pursued a Masters degree in applied behavior analysis working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I have personally seen the incredible benefits that respite and enrichment programs have for individuals with disabilities and their families. It is a great honor to serve on the Covey Board and give back to individuals and families in need.

As the Corporate Giving Manager at 4imprint, I coordinate the onebyone charitable giving program and promote various volunteer opportunities within the company. I’ve also volunteered on Covey’s Uplift Committee and helped with the I Can Bike program. As a new member to the Covey board, I look forward to being more knowledgeable about all that Covey has to offer and to be able to share their reach in our community.

While raising a son with autism, we worked diligently with a community that our church, school district, DVR, and others to help him realize as much of his potential as possible. He is currently employed full time, owns his own car, and is a contributing citizen of Wisconsin. As a Covey Board Member, I hope to help other people like my son discover and live up to their potential.

My relationship with existing board member Chad Wade and my background in serving on existing non-profit boards with focus on helping individuals with special interests draws me to Covey.

When I learned about Covey’s mission and the work they do in our communities, I knew I wanted to continue to support this amazing organization. I am excited to be able to apply the industry knowledge I’ve gained in my time with Verve, a Credit Union to assist Covey in benefiting as many individuals with disabilities as possible. We are making the world a better place, together.

I am proud to serve on the board for Covey, primarily as it is so aligned with my personal beliefs around human dignity and respect. This organization is making a significant contribution to the Northeastern Wisconsin community, and I am looking forward to helping make a deeper impact in the future.

I’m very pleased to serve as a Covey Board member to further our mission and advocate for the needs of people with disabilities. Our son with disabilities has had many wonderful experiences as a Covey participant. Our whole family and community have all benefitted from the services Covey provides. We deeply appreciate the respect Covey staff and leadership have for people with disabilities and their constant commitment to empower them and their families to fully engage in their community.
