Christopher Meek is a Goldman Sachs & Co. equity trader living in Stamford CT. who has decided to try and make a difference in the current housing crisis. Christopher has enlisted the help of local banks and together with volunteers from the Stamford area and the help of the Yearwood Center in Stamford is hosting a series of meetings that will bring troubled borrowers and their lenders together to modify non-performing mortgages. Christopher hopes that others follow this example and that local communities come together and work together to effectively solve the current economic crisis.

Christopher strongly believes that the government, while well intentioned, is not the best solution to the current problems all by itself; rather it is through local participation and awareness that real results can and will be achieved.
