Last year, under his direction, the program benefited approximately 300 children and raised more than $3,000 for South Side Mission.

In 2008, he earned pro bono notation as a law student, donating his legal services to the City of Chicago as it revised its building code, which included green initiatives to protect the environment and improve quality of life in the city. iBi
