I became the Director of Community Impact and Development in 2022. Having worked for or with roughly 25 different nonprofit organizations over the course of my career. I have come to realize each organization is different and has their own uniqueness which makes them special, particularly to those who are connected to the organization. Yet, as I have also discovered, every one of these organizations shares the same commonality, which is, through mission, they make their community in which they support, better.

Nothing inspires or gives me more personal satisfaction than working with and bringing volunteers together to achieve an objective which is important to them and critical to their organization’s mission. Whether it’s raising funds to build a new structure, launching an impactful new program initiative, or just raising the funds needed to deliver its mission, my ability to apply my knowledge and skill set to an organization’s cause, has been a lifelong passion.

During my career, I have raised over $35 Million for a variety of nonprofit organizations. I have extensive experience in managing annual campaigns, implementing major and planned giving programs, conducted all aspects of capital campaigns, coordinated large scale special events and recruited hundreds of volunteers to support organizational missions.

I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My wife Michelle and I are the proud parents of two now adult children and have been happily married for over 30 years. I am an avid hiker and camper (though my idea of “roughing it” these days when camping involves no sewer hook-up).
