Nonprofit Management and Consulting involving: Interim Executive Management | Organizational Assessment | Fundraising | Strategic Planning | Facilities Review | Compliance | Permitting | Liability | Media and Community Relations

Spending several teen years in Okinawa, and later, as an adult serving in Papua New Guinea and in the Philippines, provided an invaluable cross-cultural experience that expanded my worldview and understanding of diversity within community, government, business, and ministry.​  Also, almost two decades of executive leadership in nonprofit ministries provides me an excellent base from which to help others. My goal is to see sustainable nonprofit organizations providing long-term community benefit.

 

Having a rather "eclectic" resume provides a broad understanding of varied and interactive fields – without recognizing a dichotomy between sacred and secular work – while serving in corporate and nonprofit worlds, starting my own business, and having extensive community involvements.  I've a broad view of the different sectors and how they can successfully collaborate. As a life-learner, I've sought out continued education in whatever position I found myself, which has been both enlightening and proved how much I still need to learn.

An ordained Chaplain, I studied Nonprofit Organization Management at UC Riverside and earned an M.A. in Global Leadership at Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Intercultural Studies. I was awarded the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation in 2013, received certification as a Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader in 2012, and have authored several journal articles and columns. 

 

I’ve been married for 44 years to my wonderful life-mate, Leslie, who has put up and partnered with me on our varied path through life and ministry with our four children. ​Leslie has an M.A. in Education and is a retired elementary school educator. We're proud parents of our 4 grown children.
