I Am Because You Are
On Saturday, October 22nd, my wife Katie and I had the privilege to attend brunch with the President of St. Leo University to honor one of our dearest friends, Peter J. Mulry. Peter was receiving the 2022 Distinguished Alumnus Award, which is the highest award granted by the University to recognize alumni who have achieved remarkable goals in their personal or professional life.
Peter has dedicated his life to his foundation, which supports Title 1 schools with a focus on literacy and life skills through sports. His accomplishments include publishing several children's books as well as a memoir titled Conversations in the Seventh Inning of My Life.
I have been honored to sit on the Board of Directors for the Peter J. Mulry Foundation, as well as his 100 Men & Women Making a Difference Organization for the past several years.
Peter's acceptance speech on Saturday sent a very clear message that St. Leo University set him on a course of not only success, but to stay focused on what is most important. He closed with a simple, humble quote " I Am Because You Are".
