Whether you like to call it giving back, or paying it forward, I think it is important to recognize how truly blessed I am to live in the greatest country in the world (and, for me, the nicest state), and so I try to find ways to contribute to society and improve the world around me, in some small fashion.
For me it starts in the local community where I live with my wife Rebeca (Ruiz) Barclay, in vibrant and beautiful Scottsdale.
Here are some of the ways in which I try every day to pay it forward, through active participation in community activities. . .
