He serves as a director on various boards, including Parrot SA; JMC Family Office; Ode à La Rose, a same day delivery florist in the North East of United States; Amerequip, a custom equipment manufacturer in Kiehl, WI; and Summer Search, a US philanthropic organization working with low-income high school students for the last 25 years.
