Best Buddies & Special Olympics

My involvement with Best Buddies and Special Olympics spans over 20 years.  It began with Special Olympics, as a referee for Special Olympics basketball.  Working many games and tournaments in Washington, DC and vincity.  The story goes, this is a city of networking.  I met someone who worked for Mrs. Shriver.  One day I received a call asking if I could photograph a gala for Best Buddies. The path to both organizations blossomed.  Eventually, I was named Official Documentarian for Best Buddies.  For Special Olympics, I officiated basketball in 8 Special Olympic World Games.  Although I traveled around the world for both groups, it is the friendships made and the everlasting appreciation for the abilities and love each participant possesses.
