I had the honor of writing the Forward to this book co-authored by Michele Hart and Nick Benas.

Co-author of Adam Greenberg's book called Get Up: The Art of Perseverance

If there’s ever a person who epitomizes perseverance, It's Adam Greenberg...

A 92 mile-an-hour first-pitch fastball to the back of the head on his Major League debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2005 gave Adam the record for being one of only two players in MLB history to have an official at-bat without ever taking the field.

What began as the destroyer of his great dream......was actually the birth of an even greater one.

After a seven-year journey to get back, Adam signed a one-day contract with the Miami Marlins in 2012. Get Up | The Art of Perseverance is just the beginning of an opportunity to do much more - together. Show less

Created The Resilient Caregiver Podcast: Empowering Those Who Serve People Diagnosed with Dementia. Notable guests included Karen Stobbe and Chef Danielle Sepsy from HBO Max's The Big Brunch. This caught the attention of the legendary, Emmy-nominated Muddhouse Media (https://muddhousemedia.com/) staff. Although the Aging & Disability Resource Center was unable or unwilling to invest in the partnership, it was validating to be approached by these legends.

Received the following from a co-worker Valerie H. "Congratulations on your new role. We will miss having you as our Dementia Care Specialist…you did an amazing job and started a lot of neat new things for the program!" Show less

Thank you to all those who attended this seminar. It was an honor to speak to you about how human trafficking affects people and communities at the local level. Public awareness is one of the first steps toward hearing the voices of those who are too afraid or too ashamed to speak. Project 16:49 and Lutheran Social Services are doing powerful work in establishing security and healing for child survivors. I enjoy any opportunity I get to articulate the value of their services in our communities… Show more

I created a Wiffle Ball Home Run Derby in partnership with Lou Levesque's Golden Stick Wiffle League and legendary professional wiffle ball pitcher Sean "Wiffleboy" Steffy. This community event was designed for police and citizens to interact, eliminate barriers, and demonstrate police commitment to be approachable partners in the process of establishing a public sense of security.

It was motivating to partner with Janesville School District leaders and local law enforcement to raise awareness for human trafficking, the dangers of heroin, and how these concepts are often related.

I was instrumental in the development of the Rock County Coalition Against Juvenile Sex Trafficking along with Rock County Child Protective Services, Rock County Juvenile Justice, and other local law enforcement organizations.

I proactively performed analysis on all sexual assault, family trouble, juvenile runaway, commercial sexual activity, illegal drug, and gang activity reports which demonstrated evidence of grooming and seasoning processes of predators upon children. By early identification of at risk children, awareness initiatives and actions were taken in partnership with Child Protective Services, Juvenile Justice, and other community groups to prevent exploitation and victimization.

My efforts to raise public awareness, identify cases, effectively investigate cases, and develop support service solutions for survivors have been recognized by local leaders as well as the Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel and Congresswoman Amy Loudenbeck. Show less

I have partnered with the Women's Fund of the Stateline Community Foundation to create an effective response in Rock County to Human Trafficking Survivors along with numerous law enforcement, Child Protective Services, Juvenile Justice, School District Representatives, and Public Service organizations such as the Sexual Assault Recovery Program.

In partnership with the State Office of Crime Victim Services and the Wisconsin Women's Council, we presented information to increase awareness in Janesville and Rock County about the reality of human trafficking and its effects upon survivors. Service providers were encouraged to register their services with the National Human Trafficking Resource Center.

I participated in the maintenance and development of partnerships with law enforcement agencies, school districts, community organizations, and criminal justice entities to mobilize the community against the appeal and impact of criminal street gangs. I regularly provided public awareness presentations on how to recognize signs of gang involvement as well as organized and generated criminal intelligence briefings for partnering organizations. I performed coordinated analysis of criminal intelligence in order to improve strategic patrol activity while simultaneously seeking to build a foundation of trust with community members in the process of deterring and interrupting the destruction and violence associated with criminal gang activity.

I served on the Janesville Police Department Domestic Violence Intervention Team which has been recognized by the Wisconsin Governor's Council for its efforts in serving domestic violence survivors. Strategically connecting survivors with the YWCA, the Sexual Assault Recovery Program, and other support services increased success rates at liberating survivors out of cycles of violence.

I participated on the African-American Liaison Committee at the Janesville Police Department which seeks to build bridges between African-Americans in the City of Janesville and establish procedural justice in police contacts with members of the public. I have worked to participate in an organization that strives to be culturally competent, compassionate, tactically appropriate, and aware of implicit bias.

I taught the Janesville Police Department to render tactical trauma self-care in the event members sustained serious trauma during police operations. This included pressure dressing and tourniquet application to stop severe bleeding, appropriate first aid for pneumothorax, and tactical evacuation methods in active shooter environments.
