I donate 10% of my net commission to charity. Although a nonprofit organization no longer employs me, I am still fundraising – through my work in real estate. Real estate allows me to help people with what is often the most significant transaction of their lives while also working for the greater good.
Below is a sampling of the organizations I have supported (in alphabetical order; the possibly lesser-known organizations are linked):
- Advocate Charitable Foundation
- Anderson Humane
- Boys & Girls Club of Elgin
- Chamber Music on the Fox
- Christ Community Church
- Community Crisis Center
- Ecker Center for Mental Health
- Elgin Bike Hub
- Elgin Community College Foundation
- Elgin History Museum
- Elgin Symphony Orchestra
- Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra
- Family Service Association of Greater Elgin

- Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois
