For nearly 30 years, Mike has had the privilege of working in and alongside nonprofit organizations, raising funds globally and serving in leadership roles ranging from Chief Development Officer to CEO. 

Most of his career has been spent in the faith-based nonprofit world, where he has helped teams navigate growth, strengthen donor relationships, and launch fundraising efforts that reflect the scope and vision of their mission. Today, he serves as the Chief Development Officer for the Chalmers Center, where he partners with leadership to expand donor engagement and fuel the Center’s mission of equipping churches to walk alongside the poor with dignity and hope. 

Mike believes relationships are at the heart of every successful development effort. Whether helping shape a capital campaign, guiding a strategy, or meeting with a donor, his goal is the same: to build trust and move meaningful work forward. He is especially drawn to big ideas, lasting partnerships, and causes that bring real transformation to people’s lives. 

Mike met his Canadian wife while living in Australia. They have 3 children ages 15-19 and still love to travel the world with their family, experiencing new places together.
