My life's mission is to help you help others. We all have dreams of making a positive impact on our families, communities and business. I have helped individuals and organizations fulfill their vision as Pastor, Fundraiser, and Executive Leader. But there is something that you may not know about me. I grew up in retail sporting goods through a family owned business called Norton Sporting Goods. I started by sweeping floors and cleaning glass before the age of . I graduated to counting worms, minnows and other live bait, as well as selling fishing tackle. Eventually, I started selling firearms and accessories to hunters and shooters. Beyond for-profit-retail, I have years experience in non-profit organizations with a special emphasis on operations, membership, volunteer organization, annual funds, capital campaigns, strategic planning and organizational development. I also have experience in sales, management and marketing in retail sales. My specialties include executive leadership, fundraising, strategic planning, project management, public relations, public speaking, teaching, annual funds, capital campaigns, major gifts, volunteer recruitment and training, budget management, organizational development, policy development and implementation.
