First and foremost, I'm a family man. I have a beautiful wife and 4 kiddos, and we live in Granger, Ohio. 

As relates to my professional journey, I often joke that I'm going to write a book called, “Climbing Down the Ladder.” I started as an attorney, then became a college football coach, then went into full-time ministry, and now I’m the Founder and Executive Director of a non-profit farm that employs people with disabilities called Farming with Friends as well as the Owner and Lead Fundraising Consultant for Hill of Beans Fundraising.

With that said, throughout my professional career, I have raised over $1.5 million and accrued nearly a decade of experience in fundraising and coaching fundraisers. I've authored "Hill of Beans: A Fable for Kingdom Fundraisers", and I'm particularly passionate about helping fundraisers overcome the emotional obstacles to fundraising success.

Our world needs more people fundraising for good causes!
