Gareth first became involved with EBI when his wife, an EBI client, suggested it to him. He soon began receiving Independent Living Services through EBI. A few years ago, Tom Heinz approached Gareth, and asked him to be a part of the EBI board of directors. Gareth believes in giving back to his community and he appreciates the atmosphere and goals of EBI. Believing that EBI provides a useful, needed service to community members with disabilities, he gladly joined the EBI board. Gareth uses his experience as an EBI client to help the board make decisions that further EBI’s goals.
