Mentor Spotlight: Seth Horrigan
Many of our mentee kids don’t have much experience biking, swimming, building things, doing yard maintenance or having the kind of input which teaches some of these important life skills. Seth Horrigan recognizes this and takes his mentoring just as seriously as he takes his job, his fitness goals, his faith and his relationships: to the max! He’s an all-in kinda guy.
