Special Events
Combining strategy, fundraising, and theatrical production for event experiences that deliver mission-oriented impact and position the client at center stage.
Over the course of more than 15 years fundraising for nonprofit companies, I have planned and executed hundreds of events ranging from galas to intimate dinners, from educational programs to spectacle entertainment. My early career was spent backstage with theatres and operas, and I know how to run a show precisely on time, how to put the spotlight on VIPs and superstar performers, and most importantly how to deliver an outstanding audience experience.





Clients, guests, and VIPs have included members of Congress, international superstar entertainers, diplomats, and top corporate executives. Venues have included the US Supreme Court, the Organization of American States, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Kennedy Center, the Columbus Zoo (professional home of Jack Hanna), the Newseum, embassies, and private homes. As a professional fundraiser for charity organizations, my events have raised millions of total dollars and consistently exceeded year-over-year revenue goals.
