  The Nonprofit Atlas

  Oct 2023 - now

  Philanthropic Strategist

  I remove the struggle from nonprofits and philanthropists so they can move the needle. My business partner and I know from 40 years of experience that the right mindset will spread awareness like wildfire, bring abundance to cash-strapped organizations, and make a sizeable community impact. We teach nonprofits and businesses how to think entrepreneurially and do well by doing the most good.
