(NASDAQ: BLKB), a leading technology company that powers the business of philanthropy for its more than 30,000 nonprofit customers, since 2014. An experienced IT services executive, his interest in technology was sparked in high school when he took his first engineering class.

He is an advocate for corporate cultures that encourage employees to thrive professionally and personally while accomplishing strong top-line growth.
