Turning LinkedIn into a Fundraising Engine for Nonprofits | Keynote Speaker | Investor | Husband & Father | 2 Exits |

I spent years building and scaling companies, raising investment, and developing partnerships across different industries. What I learned is that growth always comes down to one thing: relationships.

When I started working with nonprofits, I noticed something that changed my direction. Many organizations were approaching corporate partnerships as sponsorship requests rather than co-created impact. The conversation was transactional, so the funding was short term.

So now I help nonprofits secure meaningful corporate partnerships and long term funding through a relationship first strategy. I also train nonprofit consultants who want to deliver this framework with their clients.

My work at Impact Circle focuses on:
• Building partnership pipelines that are based on alignment, not pitching
• Training nonprofit teams to lead high trust conversations with corporate partners
• Helping consultants grow their visibility and revenue using a value first approach

I still build companies that create impact. I am developing Givly, an AI powered platform designed to help nonprofits increase grant success by giving teams a research and writing co pilot that understands their goals.

A few parts of my journey:
• Built and exited multiple companies
• Raised millions in investment
• Recognized by JA Worldwide for creating meaningful impact
• Reduced over one million single use plastic bottles through sustainable water systems
• International keynote speaker on social impact, partnerships, and purpose driven growth

If you believe relationships are the real engine of funding and partnership success, we are aligned.

Send me a message with the word Impact, and I will share resources we use to help teams grow sustainably.

Let’s build something meaningful.
