Youth Venture

I am a youth rights and activism lobbyist from St. Paul. I am a board member of the American Red Cross and am also an employee. My most recent achievement was lowering the age of legal blood donation in MN. On the side I love restoring muscle cars, playing guitar and paintball, and wrestling, track, and cross country! I love to meet new people, especially other youth who have a passion for changing the world we live in for the better! Peace!

• I have an idea for a venture but no team
• I want to help out a venture
• I want to join a venture
• I want to reach out to YV alumni
• I plan to continue working locally in MN on youth activism in goverment. I am currently working on a bill to create a MN House Youth Advisory Council with several congressmen and am always on the lookout for other youth who would be interested in being a part of pushing such a bill through this session. I also plan to move into international relations (UN work) and I have plans to run for US youth delegate to the United Nations this summer.
