Addicted to Being of Service    In Service   As an Advisor  Social Entrepreneurship

“Service is the highest form of consciousness”, is statement that one of LaNell’s dearest teachers has stated many times. LaNell holds this quality of service very close to his heart. In laymen’s terms, the guy is addicted to service! He provides service in many forms, both as a paid advisor or as a pro-bono provider. “It makes me feel good.” –LTW
