Pitzer started a tutoring service called Strokes of Genius after the coronavirus pandemic created further learning disparities.

“Over the past two years I’ve just been finding ways to implement myself in the community with areas in need such as technology,” he said.

“This has been an important city for quite some time,” he said. “We’ve done what was needed to make this city grow. And now we are understanding that it is easier to happen, if we come together and do these areas of need.”
