Liaison Chair for Open Arms Christian Child Care Center 2000 to Present

Sam’s involvement in community organizations from the 1970’s to the present has done a great deal to develop his ability to be a good judge of character and human nature.  

Over the years, he’s chaired and conducted hundreds of meetings, solicited opinions from all participants, given all sides due consideration, then decided on a course of action.  This experience coupled with 33 years of law practice has given him an unusually broad perspective on human nature, motivation, weaknesses, willingness to sacrifice, willingness to lie (unfortunately), devotion (or lack thereof) to children, parents and other family members.
