You can't always sit in your corner of the forest and wait for people to come to you...you have to go to them sometimes.
   - Winnie the Pooh   
    
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
- Winston Churchill



With a successful career covering two decades, my mainstay,
passion and dedication led to an 9 year tenure focusing on
fundraising and community relations. My efforts contributed to
$23 million raised spanning Visual and Performing Arts, Animal
Welfare and HIV/AIDS. 

 
My reputation - a highly
effective and active fundraiser and ambassador.

Mid and high end donor cultivation and relations, making the ask, procuring the gift and closing the deal - including all levels of corporate sponsorship, individual giving and the development
of short and long term strategies.

Informing, promoting, and educating in a way that
reinforces your message both inspirationally
and powerfully, raises awareness and funds.

Start the conversation
Engage the community you serve or lose them
Excellence is achieved through teamwork
Make sure all of your efforts point to your mission


Having produced and managed more than 150 successful high profile events and 300 sold out shows and concerts is proof
that events can be one of the single most effective tools that an organization can use to engage a targeted group of individuals.

 Creating memories and lifelong relationships is what great 
fundraising and management is all about.
