He attributes his success to the love and support he receives from his parents.

He became involved in his profession because he wanted to give back some of what he felt he owed after receiving help as a young boy.

Mr. Dover joined the Knights of Columbus 26 years ago to become more involved in his religion and serve others. After many years of membership, he decided to seek an office. No one could have ever imagined the fulfillment that this affiliation would bring to his life. To be able to witness so many acts of charity and place names and faces to them has been eye opening. Watching the youth progress and compete gives him a ray of hope for the future; many young people are so brilliant. It has been the continual witness of need all around the world today and the charitable giving that inspire him to continue in this labor of love. He also desires to aid his family by providing them with the love and assistance they need so that they, too, may continue to enjoy fruitful and happy lives. His journey through life has made him aware that he has truly been extremely blessed. He feels all have a ministry, whether or not they ever heed the calling, and the experiences of life are to make one better, not bitter, as everything happens for a reason. He says charity and giving have no limits. and with so many needs in the world today, especially in the present economy, he sees no end in sight for those with special needs. He has no plan in the future to discontinue serving others who are less fortunate. He wanted to continue sharing the love and support he received from his parents with others.
