Introductory remarks from the
South Jordan Chamber of Commerce Vision Dinner
February 7th, 2018
"Austin is the living embodiment of being the change you want to see in the world.
He encourages and inspires kindness by: creating a service group where members perform directed acts of kindness every day for one month; he helps people re-vamp their resumes so they look professional as they apply for better jobs; he sponsors several Sub for Santa families every year; he connects people who need a place to go on Thanksgiving with people who have an extra seat at the table; he uses his incredible talent for graphic design to create posters and pins that help the displaced feel like they belong and are welcome.
He brings people together and challenges them to be kind, compassionate, decent human beings.
He is the Mr. Rogers of South Jordan."
