I’m a community engagement expert. I build community inside companies & measure impact outside companies. My community work was a baptism of fire in post-Soviet Ukraine in the early 1990s. It’s since taken me across the globe: human trafficking supply chain assessments across Asia, government planning in Colombia, faith-based communities in Africa, global NGOs in the EU, and corporate consulting in North America. While I spend the majority of my time internationally, I am intimately familiar with middle America. I grew up in a trailer park in the small town of Doylestown, just outside of Akron Ohio USA. I was the first person in my family to attend university, earning an athletic scholarship at the University of Missouri As a former professional runner, I personify an athlete + entrepreneurial mindset— working hard, tackling tough tasks and being willing to bet on myself. As a Founder, I've built teams that achieve what individuals simply cannot. This balance has served me well over the decades of community building. I've found this balance, and my experiences can help most leaders reach their goals. Let's chat!
