I am also a 30+ years Social Services Volunteer (Poverty Alleviation/Adult Literacy) and an animal advocate (Dog & Horse rescue). In the 4th Quarter of my life, as a Lifestyle & Wellness Male Model advocate in commercial print and fashion media my emphasis is Defying Age Prejudice as an American cultural problem, I am turning my energies to issues facing all Americans of all ages across all life spans; those issues are better Healthcare, Financial Security, Mental Health, Early Childhood Services, Inclusivity, Intergenerational Leadership, Activism & Innovation while helping youth and olders cement personal friendships. Join in my crusade!
