I'm an entrepreneur living at the intersection of technology and doing good. Currently I am the VP of Strategic Partnerships at Engiven, Inc., a company focused on helping nonprofits grow their missions through donations of cryptocurrency. Engiven has the top platform and provides a safe and easy path for a 501c3 nonprofit to quickly set up, receive crypto donations and exchange them for fiat (US dollars). Our system verifies the donation on the blockchain and sends the proceeds via bank ACH as a direct deposit into the nonprofit’s bank account.Prior to Engiven I was formally the Co-founder & CEO of Rize Ministry Service Partners which was founded to open up new conduits of generosity to non-profits and educate organizational leaders on how to solicit, acquire, and manage asset-based donations. Rize developed a unique and proprietary approach to handle all types of complex assets, allowing an easy path for donors to give generously through various asset types.Prior to starting RIZE, I was a founding member of a Minneapolis-area metro church and served as its Executive Pastor from 2012-2020. During my tenure, I implemented all systems for administration, marketing, finance, human resources, supply, and facilities management. And helped propel the church to be the fastest growing church in MN in 2019.
