Q & A with Zachary Strong, Foundation Ambassador
and liaison to Carpenter, REALTORS® (Smith Valley Rd)

Q: Why did you decide to become involved as a Foundation Ambassador?
A: Lori [Stuck] reached out to me and let me know that there was a need for help raising money and keeping agents aware of the Foundation. I love to help if I can. It seems like an easy way to try and make a small difference.

Q: What motivated you and your office to participate in the transactional giving contest?
A: Honestly, the contest and prize were a great motivator but the set up of it is so easy. If you just tell people to give just $10 out of that big 'ol check they just got and tell them how it all adds up and makes a big difference people are usually willing to give.

Q: What do you like to do for fun?
A: Travel, and stay active with sports.
