I help people make a difference. Alongside 24 years of focus in mission advancement work, I've earned a master’s degree in Philanthropy and Development. This has helped me better understand best practice in the areas of fundraising, leadership, marketing, and strategic planning. I currently serve as Director of Development at Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. WLHS is one of the largest private high schools in Milwaukee--and one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse high schools in the country. I’m a sunshine and espresso addict. God has wired me with the unique ability to find coffee shops without asking for directions. I love speaking and teaching, hiking, cooking, audiobooks, music, and adventures with my wife, Kristi. Most of all, I am a firm believer in the miracle of God's grace and his ability to changes hearts and lives.
