What can I do for you?
Learn more about what makes me different and why I’d be the right match to help solve your orgainzation’s challenges.
I’m an operations guy
I obtained an MBA with the idea that the public sector would benefit from a guy with sound business skills. I’m grounded in all aspects of nonprofit operations – marketing, fundraising, boards, project management, finance and org design. I enjoy creating new processes to do things better.
I’m a conservationist
Both my personal and professional life are driven by a desire to preserve species and natural spaces for future generations. I’ve traveled six continents and seen many of the planet’s most amazing places. I enjoy working with organizations that share this mission and as well as helping others make new connections with nature.
I’m effective at leading change
I’ve worked with nonprofits large and small, and both state and federal agencies. I understand the challenges faced in the public sector and I develop solutions that account for an organization’s budget, staffing and vision for the future. Change is hard; sometime it takes outside perspective to move things forward.
