 AWARDS
 Awarded the Eagle Scout award, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America, on November 14, 2001. For the Eagle Scout project needed to complete the award, I built a set of dry-erase boards for a playroom of a women's shelter in Geauga County, Ohio. The project helped the childrenof women abused by their husbands cope with the trauma by giving them an outlet to work out their feelings creatively.
