Stanley first encountered Helpers in 2000, in his role as a Senior Project Manager for Plant Construction Company, when he relocated Helpers Bazaar from one location to another in Ghirardelli Square. Helpers introduced Stanley to the challenges faced by individuals with developmental disabilities. His architectural expertise came in handy through volunteer projects he performed for Helpers over the years. Eventually, he was invited to become a board member and accepted immediately. As a board member, Stanley continues to contribute his construction and architectural skills to the on-going maintenance, rehabilitation and renovation of the group homes.
