About Me

The only thing worth mentioning is the Company that I'm part of called www.givemeaning.com You may have heard of it in the press recently. Started by a local Vancouver boy wonder, its a company aimed at helping us young people become philanthropic in a way that's easy, fun and rewarding.We're starting in BC this holiday season with basically charitable gift certificates. I can buy them for my friends and then they each get to choose which charity receives the value of the gift certificate. Neat hey?I'm involved with the marketing and promotion of it. It's been an unbelievable couple of months taking an idea on a piece of paper to a real company.
