He raised funds to build a rec center for a local Boys and Girls Club that now bears his name.

He's donated to help other local nonprofit causes including donating autographed memorabilia for an auction to help local nonprofit public interest media.

He's been through some very difficult physical ordeals. A few years ago he could barely walk, but overcame it.

He's now an avid bicyclist as well as hometown hero.

He may not be a good broadcaster (haven't heard him) but locally everyone who knows him appreciates all that he's done to benefit people in need here in the San Diego inland area.
