Brief bio

Thank you for getting to know me!

I am blessed with some great experiences and have lived in Jacksonville, Atlanta, Nashville, San Antonio, New Braunfels (TX), Houston, and Tampa Bay.  I even had the chance to work in Belize, Central America.

Prior to professional Scouting,  I worked in banking and finance.  These roles helped me develop leadership skills and technical knowledge that I continue to use.

My Scouting experience statred as a youth in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, at pack and troop 277.  I joined the North Florida Council as a Scouting Professional in 2005. In 2015, we moved to Tampa to join the team that would become the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council after the merger of two councils in west cental Florida.  I have been a District Executive, District Director, Camp Director, Camp Program Director, Youth Protection Advisor, Field Director, and Director of Finance and Strategic Initiatives.

I currently live in Land O Lakes, FL, with my wife Chris and our 2 children, both cub scouts.

Growth

Scouting is a positive values transfer program that helps young people become successful and contributing adults.  We strive to serve more youth.  Robust funding is needed for meaningful membership growth and high-caliber programming that will continue to attract today's families. I am blessed with a track record of success and an ability to create growth in fundraising and membership.

Governance & Finance

There is no substitute for doing things the right way.  Proper governance makes us a trusted partner worthy of community support. Good fiscal management is proof that we can be trusted, and resource management is how we enable growth and provide tools for growth in the future.  My governance and finance accumen can be a tool to guide a council.
