About
"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.
Successful business practices are a form of artistic endeavor."
-- Andy Warhol

Growing up under the generous skies and open spaces of rural Wisconsin, and near the endless shores of Lake Michigan, both my professional work and my artistic diversions, often search for a wide open place in the human spirit -- a place where there is room for both the past and future, and a place that is big enough to house the hopes, thrills, and anxieties of day-to-day life.
Beneath the surface, my work, in all of its forms, explores paths between the spiritual and physical, the simple and complex, and between completeness and absence.
I am an accomplished executive with exceptional communication skills and expertise in business development, marketing, relationship management, visioning, operational excellence, fundraising, and strategic planning. A combination of experience in healthcare, social services, higher education, and the arts -- along with sharp business acumen -- yields a resilient, sensible, problem solver who has helped raise $500 million in philanthropic and government support over the span of my career.
