He joined United Way Worldwide’s staff in 2009 and served as director of major, principal and planned giving. There, he led a team focused on individual giving ($1.2 billion in annual support) and launched $1 billion in initiative and endowment campaigns across the worldwide United Way system.

After United Way, DJ joined the ALS Association as the senior VP of development. He led the association’s national development team focused on doubling network-wide resources over 5 years.

Today, DJ serves as the senior VP market leadership and chief development officer of March of Dimes, responsible for growing $160 million in revenue and managing field operations to help more moms be healthy and babies be born strong.
