About Me

I’m a marketing professional dedicated to the impact nonprofits have in their communities, on society, and throughout the world. From a small high school project to raise money for my local United Way to working on a large team to complete a $5.43 billion capital campaign, I have over 20 years of experience in fundraising on projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.

Over the years, I’ve seen far too many organizations spend time and money on strategic plans that end up merely sitting on a shelf. When you work with me, you will get the immediate, hands-on implementation assistance needed to build and sustain relationships with donors, volunteers, and other supporters.

In me, you will find not only an effective partner, but an ethical one dedicated to supporting your organization leadership’s duties of obedience, loyalty, and care. I’m vigilant against the uses of deceptive patterns and other abusive marketing tactics and will always protect your organization and donors’ sensitive information.
