Keynote Speaker, Online Fundraiser, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist

One of the most profound and defining moments of my life occurred in 1991 when I was awarded the ever-so-coveted prize of “Best Stage Presence” for the Pittsburgh Boys Choir.

Ok, maybe it wasn’t that life changing, but I like to think that if there was a “Best Stage Presence” award at all the nonprofit conferences I’ve spoken at, I’d at least be in the running every time.

Over the course of my career, I’ve been to more nonprofit conferences and fundraising events than I can even begin to count. And if I’ve learned one thing from them all, it’s this: nonprofit speakers are super boring.

I like to think I bring a different sort of energy to the stage. And it’s not all just for the sake of putting on some big show…it’s because I’ve discovered something brand new to the nonprofit space that has the power to radically transform organizations.

In the talks that I develop, whether it’s a keynote or a workshop, you’ll see case studies and experiments from real nonprofits that reveal new and innovative learnings with the power to create lasting growth.

You’ll see me jump up and down as I get excited about how organizations are growing their impact every single day just by admitting that they don’t know all the answers, and testing their hypotheses.

I work hard to involve the audience in the case studies because I want each and every fundraiser listening to walk away feeling confident that they too can apply these learnings in their daily work.

 And if I’m really getting into it, you might even see me tear up as we imagine the enormous opportunity that’s being given to us if we can just learn to listen to our donors, and let the data tell us what works to grow our organizations.

Between speaking events, consulting with nonprofit partners, or heading to a miniature horse competition with my wife and kids – I’ve got a pretty busy calendar. But I would love  to make it out to your next event and share with you what I’ve been learning about fundraising and nonprofit growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you available as a keynote speaker for my upcoming conference?
As long as my calendar is free, I’d love to speak at your conference or event. My talks are prepared as 50-minute keynotes, but I can also do a 30-minute breakout session if need be.

Do you do any hands-on training and workshops?
I’ve done workshops and training sessions on donation page optimization, value proposition, donor acquisition, and more. Just let me know what you’re envisioning, and I’m sure we can work something out to meet your needs.

What about webinars, podcasts, and interviews? Do you do those?
Some say I’m a webinar ninja. And I love to talk, so podcasts and interviews are a perfect outlet for that. I’d be happy to arrange something.
