No Substitute For Passion

Major challenges: To bring in $20 million in capital dollars in a very competitive nonprofit environment and to attract dynamic volunteer leadership.

Favorite organizations: Nonprofits that provide services directly to children. “Preventing child abuse is the most compelling cause there is because it is the root cause of nearly all of society’s problems. Those who are abused grow up to be homeless, juvenile delinquents, mentally ill, drug abusers and child abusers themselves. Changing one child’s life is exponential in its impact.”
