Meet KODA Camp's Board of Directors

💼 Legal Support for Donohue Brown Smyth, LLC
I am honored to have a position on the KODA Midwest board! KODA Camp really helped to grow and shape me into the person that I am today. Not only did it help me find my place within my own identity, it helped me find my family. My goal is to help propel and maintain KODA Midwest through generations so that it may impact the lives of so many others the same way that it has impacted my own.

I joined the board because camp developed a lot of my youth and personality. It helped me meet lifelong friends I never would have met if it wasn't for camp. It even helped me meet my wife! So it was a no-brainer to want to be involved and try to help future KODA's have as great an experience as I did.
