I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors.

What Job Would I Do For Free?

What job would you do for free?

Before I got the job I have now, I did some volunteer work for a local charity that helps homeless folks transition to getting affordable housing. I answered phones and did some other things. I even served on the board of directors for a while. That was a fun thing to do as I looked for work. Volunteering is a good way to keep skills sharp and to give back.

At my church, I serve during the worship services as a communion assistant and as a live video streaming and sound tech. I have also served on the leadership team known as the vestry.

So I would guess I would do things for free that I feel passionate about and that can make a difference.
