In twelve years at the Central Indiana Community Foundation, he led grantmaking and community change initiatives, advised generous entrepreneurs and families, attracted $39 million in assets and co-investments, and co-founded a social enterprise. Before that, he managed technical assistance and financing programs for the State of Indiana’s Community Development Division.
