A strong advocate of literacy programs for kids, Dom speaks to more than 500 students each year at area schools. He also hosts writing workshops for teens at Denver-area libraries. Dom began "The Big Brain Club" to encourage students to overcome the peer pressure that often prevents them from achieving their true potential.
