Now that he has retired and started a second career in communications and logistics with Access Ready, he hopes to help the organization make a true difference. He said: “I want to see where this takes me, that is part of the fun. I understand and believe in what we are doing and want to help all I can to make the organization have the effect that is so badly needed.
One thing I have learned is that everything changes, and we must change if we are to keep growing. This is true for people, organizations and yes society.”
