volunteerism
For more than a decade I have served in various capacities for the Asheville-based non-profit, Building Bridges. These volunteer roles include but are not limited to board member, emcee, small group leader, social media coordinator, webmaster, panel organizer, and participant. The vision of Building Bridges is to deliberately dismantle and disrupt racism one conversation at a time.
I am also currently a director on the board for Asheville Community Theatre, and am active in my church, Fletcher United Methodist, where my wife Reverend Julie Bainbridge currently serves.
