He has been raising funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for 11 years by riding in the Texas MS 150 bike rides. In October 2022, he was one of 11 people inducted into the Texas MS 150 Hall of Fame for raising $100,000, forever securing his spot among top MS fundraisers. Three of his team members were also inducted at that level.
