When I was younger, much younger, I started a group home for young people in Anchorage. It was built on values that I feel are important. The ITS program was built on ideas that were fundamental to me; how people should be treated, providing opportunity, saying yes to diverse talents, bringing out the best in people; people realizing their potential.
