Began Volunteering:  February 2006

Resides:  Fort Wayne, IN

Employed:  Hollywood Video

Family:  I still live at home with my mother and father and share their affection for our two cats and two dogs.

Favorite Animal:  Chui, African leopard, and Minnie, dwarf miniature horse.

Favorite Activity:  Feeding time, especially the chimps - they get so excited!

Least Favorite Activity:  Locking up the buildings and leaving.

What surprised me most about Black Pine was:  The family-like environment.  Everyone seems to get along and we all help each other out.  It's more of a team effort, unlike a normal job.
 

Comments:  Black Pine has become my motivation for getting out of bed in the morning.
