I co-lead a Girl Scout troop for a group based in Princeton, MA.
The Worcester Commission on Disability met Troy at our one of our recent meetings. It was so nice to hear about a way that the community can come together -- and work to help dispel stereotypes.

Exciting, I get so little exposure for my art anyway...
Bringing a lost dog back to his home.
I work at a nonprofit organization that helps other agencies in the community help people in need.
I listen to others and try to help them through problems. I adopt abandoned cats. Most importantly, whenever I pass people on the street I smile at them or offer another kind gesture, because you never know if they're having a rotten day.
In the midst of all the bad in the world, goodness still exists. This project is a perfect way to prove that.
I spent my vacations trying to help those brave enough to ask for it.

I aim to be a good Father, raising responsible, free thinking, informed, polite and caring Children. I endeavor to bring joy through the performance of music, and I give the best hugs ever, so I am told, so there's joy in that too. :)
Because I think this is a very novel way of expressing that though we are all so varied as individuals, we are at the core one thing: human. Profound.

Doing community service with my church
Saint Paul, MN

Twice a year for at least 10 years, I have organized a drive at my job to collect women's career clothes. Donations go to Martha's Closet in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where they are available for women needing appropriate clothes for job interviews and for starting out in their new jobs. I feel good about facilitating the re-use of lots of good clothes, and about helping women who might need a good break for once.
It's empowering for me to think about and acknowledge publicly the absurdity of stereotyping and labeling others. We're all different in many ways, but we're all the same in many more.
