Paul Amador
Paul is currently the CEO of California Application Research Group. Paul has a background is in software development and internet marketing.
He has been personally touched by the struggle of those who need a transplant when his sister, Laura Amador, developed Wegener's Granulomatosis. He watched this former, star athlete deteriorate waiting for a kidney match.
Finally, she was saved by an altruistic donor, Max Zapata. After that, Paul himself donated a kidney and founded Dance for Donors, a non-profit which collected more college registrations for organ donation than any other school in California in 2010; Receiving both Congressional and Gubernatorial recognition.
The donations that Max and Paul made not only saved the life of Laura Amador, but set off a coast-to-coast organ donation chain, so wide in scope that it was covered by Katie Couric in an CBS Evening News Special: The Spirit of Giving Life.
Paul's vision is to transform Flood Sisters into a web-versatile foundation, expanding their reach throughout the country and overseas in social media, search engine, and mobile app marketing spaces to further this cause. With time, he envisions Flood Sisters as a comprehensive, online resource center-- With extensive reach across the internet to help both those in need of a donation, and advocate the cause to potential registrants and donors. He is passionate about this cause and believes that the web is the quickest and most efficient way to help raise awareness around issues of organ donation.
