A few other fun things…
Cleveland Support

A Light in the Night
I launched the Cleveland Support T-shirt Campaign to fundraise for the American Red Cross in response to the September 11th tragedy. The campaign successfully raised over $250,000, marking the largest single donation ever made to the Red Cross by a school or university. In recognition of this achievement, I was honored with a proclamation from the state of Ohio.

I wrote and illustrated A Light in the Night, an award-winning children's book that was nationally published by The Elf on the Shelf. The book was sold in over 1,000 stores across the country, including major retailers like Target, Hallmark, Play Matters, and Learning Express.
