Passion
inspiring nonprofits to engage in advocacy; working for causes I care about deeply; stand-up comedy (others, not me!).
Best Story

Origin Story
We need nonprofits engaged in advocacy. I would dare say that our democracy depends on it. I founded my firm to share my passion and expertise so nonprofits can engage in this space and share their expertise. Lawmakers need them and our country needs them!
