15+ years in workforce development, not as an outside advisor, but running programs, managing career centers, and delivering technical assistance on federal grants. I've reviewed approximately 100 grant proposals for the U.S. Department of Labor and City of San Antonio, so I know what scores well from the review side of the table. I've provided technical assistance to state workforce agencies across five states on a joint Department of Labor and Department of Justice reentry grant. I've directed operations across 12+ career centers. And I've designed career development curriculum that reached 30,000+ learners across 121 training centers nationwide. I also build technology for this space. I've developed two AI-powered platforms, one for workforce case managers and one consumer-facing, using the Claude API, React, and Supabase. When I advise organizations on AI adoption or technology strategy, I'm not theorizing. I've built it. What I deliver: Technical Assistance for Federal Grantees: program design, performance improvement, compliance guidance, cross-agency coordination. Direct experience with DOL and DOJ grant programs. Curriculum and Training Development: custom course design, e-learning development (Adobe Captivate), train-the-trainer programs, workforce readiness and career pathways content. Grant Writing and Proposal Support: technical narrative, program design sections, logic models, budget justification. I know what scores well because I've sat on the review side. AI and Technology Strategy: needs assessments, platform evaluations, implementation roadmaps for workforce organizations exploring AI tools. Practical guidance from someone who builds in this space. Background: MPA, Arizona State University. Adjunct Professor, BYU-Idaho. National conference presenter. Flexible scheduling. Clear deliverables. I do the work, no team of subcontractors, no handoffs.

Many nonprofits don’t have a fundraising problem — they have a development leadership gap. I work with established nonprofit organizations as a fractional Director of Development, helping leadership stabilize revenue, organize fundraising systems, and move from reactive fundraising to planned, sustainable growth. I do not work on commission or one-off “grant fishing.” My work is best suited for organizations that want structure, clarity, and long-term fundraising capacity. What I Actually Do 🔸My work is outcome-driven and typically includes: 🔸Designing and overseeing annual fund strategy 🔸Grant pipeline planning, research, and proposal development 🔸Major donor prospecting and leadership-level giving strategy 🔸Case for support and donor-facing messaging 🔸Board and executive-level fundraising guidance 🔸CRM and donor systems organization I focus on what needs to be built or fixed, not just what needs to be written. Typical Engagements I typically work with organizations in one of the following ways: ✅Fractional Director of Development support (monthly) Ongoing leadership-level support focused on revenue stability, fundraising planning, donor strategy, and organizational clarity. ✅Fundraising stabilization or infrastructure reset (90-day engagement) A time-bound engagement to organize fundraising systems, clarify priorities, build pipelines, and address gaps limiting growth. ✅Annual fund or campaign planning and execution Strategy, messaging, timelines, and execution support for annual appeals, Giving Tuesday, and year-end campaigns. ✅Grant pipeline development and submission cycles Prospect research, calendar development, proposal strategy, and submission management across state, national, and private funders. ✅Major donor and board fundraising strategy Prospect identification, cultivation planning, and leadership and board engagement support. How I Work I work in structured, outcome-driven engagements rather than open-ended task lists. Each engagement is organized around a small number of active priorities, clear deliverables, and regular close-out communication so progress is visible and nothing drifts. At the beginning of each month or project phase, we align on focus and expectations. Work is handled primarily asynchronously, with targeted check-ins as needed to maintain momentum without unnecessary meetings. Each period concludes with a brief written summary outlining what moved forward, what is ready next, and any decisions needed from leadership. This approach provides clarity, accountability, and steady progress while allowing nonprofit leaders to stay focused on mission and operations rather than managing fundraising tasks.
