Zeke chose this career because he felt
federal service was a great way to help his fellow human beings. He enjoys
his work because it's worthwhile.

Zeke says, "The best part of my job is that I can help people right here in Oklahoma, and I can see the results without having to travel to Washington DC." |
| Zeke likes that his agency is small. That means his actions have a direct and immediate impact. His only disappointment is that the grants are limited to 3 years. Zeke spend most of his time working to help people solve their problems so that the volunteer programs can be successful. |
