Background

I'm a guy who lives in Jacksonville, FL with a wife, daughter and dog. My time is occupied with family, a career in non-profits, baseball, chess, cards, video games, and golf.

Originally from Texas, I grew up in Gainesville, Florida then moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 1992 where I have been ever since.

Professionally, I've had a life long career in the non-profit sector with a focus on resource development and management. It started in high school when, after working selling newspapers door to door, I took a job doing door-to-door fundraising for an environmental organization.

Thirty years later, my experience has spanned arts and social service organizations in areas such as running youth and adult literacy programs, grant writing, annual campaigns, and program evaluation.
