Biography

In 2007 I founded Capacity Building and Policy Experts, LLC. I have worked with various nonprofits, academic institutions, state and local governments, and associations on capacity building, operationalizing ideas, organizational restructure, crisis management, government and public affairs, public policy development, academic research, and development. I've also developed customized nonprofit evaluation tools and conducted program impact evaluations. 

I am also currently an Adjunct Professor in the Rider University Political Science Department, and I directed research on nonprofit best practices, infrastructure, and anti-corruption practices. I've presented various papers at international conferences and has published a chapter in “Corruption and Governmental Legitimacy: A Twenty-First Century Perspective ” on the perception of nonprofits on corruption in government contracting and funding. I published another chapter in 2019 in the book, “Political Corruption in a World in Transition”, where I presented a new way of conceptualizing how nonprofits balance their missions with the financial realities of their organization.

Currently, I'm actively engaged in identifying quantifiable approaches to operationalizing solutions to problems that individuals need collective action to solve and conducts research on governance, community sustainability, the impact of funding for the third sector, and accountability measures in the nonprofit field.
