More about Marc:

• Fundraising philosophy: Being honest with the prospect and being yourself are the most effective ways to raise money and to ask without fear!
• Best fundraising advice: After you’ve asked for a major gift, shut up and give the prospect space to think!
• Best life advice: There are two: 1. Follow Jesus with all you’ve got. Finding out how he’s wired me and following that has made life a very cool adventure. 2. Feed your mind at least as often as you feed your stomach.
• Heroes: Jesus. He broke barriers and freed people to enjoy life in ways that inspire me to want to do the same.
• Personal motto: Life’s short. Live passionately.
• My life in six words: Faith-filled risks, amazing wife, great brews.
