Starting in 1984, while living in New Jersey, I volunteered my time to the Big Brothers Big Sister Association as a mentor.  I was subsequently matched with Steve, a thirteen year old living with foster parents.  I subequently volunteered my Saturday afternoons for three years until I relocated to attend graduate school.

In 1986, I was named Big Brother of the Year by the Camden/Gloucester County Chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters for my work with Steve.  Even after my relocation to attend graduate school, my friendship with Steve continued.  Steve visited me at graduate school, and we remained in contact through the early 1990s.

In 1985, I joined the Board of Directors of the Camden/Gloucester County Big Brothers/Big Sisters Association serving as a board member until my graduate school relocation.  I participated in numerous fund raising events, including one at a New Jersey state prison that offered inmates the ability to raise funds for the organization.  I organized friends to participate in various fund raisers as well.  Due to internal issues, we had board meetings that started at 7 pm and lasted until 3 am.

In 1986, I was also member of the board of the Philadephia chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers.

In the early 1990s, David was the member of a social organization in New York City that did chartible work in and around the New York City area.

In 2004, I spent five months working on the Education Committee of the Downtown Council of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of commerce developing ideas and plans for assisting local public magnate school.

Recently,I have been active in numerous Internet newsgroups helping hundreds of computer users solve their software and computer related issues.  Currently, I am a member of Junior Achievement (picture below), have volunteered time to paint houses, serve meals at a community homeless shelter, and donate blood through the Florida/Georgia blood alliance.
