I have seen the pain. I have seen the corruption that eats through lives deeper and deeper until these lives are left empty. Pride, greed, envy, sloth, lust, rage and gluttony are all part of this destruction. It’s sad. But sadder still are the consequences of these actions that ripple out and break other more honest, hardworking people’s efforts. Corruption kills growth. Kills hope. Kills community. I commit my life to growing honesty, integrity and community through my actions, leadership and ethics. I work every day to cultivate a community of courage, respect – fertile soil to grow dreams.
