I am dedicated to helping nonprofit organizations and their leaders reach their full potential and make a lasting impact. By fostering humble and transformational leadership, I believe organizations can thrive as they create focus and engage employees. My passion is to help organizations build a foundation for success and unleash capacity by prioritizing the few things that will truly be transformational, saying no or not yet to other distractions.
With more than seventeen years of experience in nonprofit leadership, operations, financial oversight, strategic planning, and technology, my passion for maximizing the impact of nonprofit organizations is deeply rooted. As a CPA with a strong foundation in financial stewardship, I have held key roles such as senior VP of strategy and operations at OneChild, COO at YMCA of the Rockies, and CFO at the Denver Rescue Mission.
Throughout my career, I have honed my strategic leadership skills through both practical experience and formal education. I obtained an MS in organizational leadership, which has further enhanced my ability to guide organizations and leaders toward success. In 2020, I founded Convergent Strategy, a company dedicated to helping nonprofits and leaders with strategic planning, organization effectiveness, and organization development.
My commitment to helping leaders thrive is showcased in, The Nehemiah Blueprint. This book explores eight crucial leadership attributes that were exhibited by Nehemiah in the Old Testament. These attributes are highly relevant and practical for any leader today.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy a fulfilling personal life with my wife, Cynthia, and our two sons, Corban and Conley. We find joy in hiking, being actively involved in our local church, and cheering for the Denver Broncos and Denver Nuggets.
