He also served on the board and investment committee of Camp Ramah Darom in Georgia as well as two investment committees for sizeable foundations in Greensboro, North Carolina and Orlando, Florida. Currently he serves as the president of Share the Care, an organization that provides respite for care givers by looking after their loved ones. This organization is known for helping to keep people in their homes.
