Never Tell A Good Advocate It Can't Be Done

About Me

I be Captain o' the Pyrates o' the Crimson Blade. If'n ye want to be a mate o' mine ye do have to work at it. I no be addin' just any landlubbin' soul to me crew. Send me a message in a bottle 'n' I might just add ye to the roster. As fer me likes, well, let it be said I like to sail the rainbow o' life to see all the colors. If ye be close minded to high adventure then shove off, savvy. Writin' be a passion o' mine so do be landin' in me blog for a time. In me landlubbin' corporate role I do be an advocate for people with disabilities.I work for an Independent Living Center where we value the rights of all people with disabilities and strive to protect these rights as well as teach people how to advocate on their own behalf. The latest and proudest achievement is that two of the volunteers I have mentored have been appointed to state level roles. One is the regional coordinator for Partners in Policy Making and the Sunmount Region. The other has just been appointed to sit on the Recipient Advisory Committee for the New York State Office of Mental Health. So many others have made awesome achievements such as GOOD employment and college. If you wonder how it is that I came to work for this cause it is because I have both physical and mental health disabilities too.

I'd like to meet:

Well it no be hard to tell I can always use a hail 'n' hearty pirate upon my crew. As for men, well, it takes a lad that can handle both calm 'n' rough seas. If ye can climb the riggin' in a full blown gale 'n' smile down at me then maybe ye stands a chance harhar. If ye be a writer then drop me a line. And last but not the least by far, I love to network on disability related issues, especially those of a political nature.
