I am primarily involved in developing, managing, and scaling various ways of getting eyeglasses to low income people in America as a business and around the world. By day I am CEO of a fast growing 1,350 store retail chain called National Vision (NASDAQ: EYE) whose largest brand is America's Best Contacts and EyeGlasses. I am active in a leading social enterprise--VisionSpring (www.VisionSpring.org)-- that works to provide low cost eyeglasses to the world's poor and serve on several other Boards with similar objectives but different models (including www.restoringvision.org) Combined these charities get eyeglasses to 3.5 Million people in need annually.

I am devoted to bringing eyeglasses to low income people around the world.

Interlocking Directorates for not-for-profits serving similar aspects of the same problem so that they may better focus and share learnings across the entire philanthropic eco-system.
