Dinos brought so much light into the world through his laughter, wisdom, passion, and enormous heart. He was always so giving and shared his wisdom openly. He always saw the best in everyone around him and encouraged us all to see it within ourselves. I greatly admired him. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the gift of Dinos in my life. We shared many experiences together in Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia and most recently this past November in Canada. I am especially grateful to have worked with him so closely this past year in his role as Executive Director at ISTA. He gave me confidence in my abilities and made me feel empowered in many ways. I know he has done the same for innumerable others as well. I will cherish those shared moments, the laughter and the conversations together and work hard to continue Dinos' vision and legacy into the future.
