10 years ago I co-founded GoodUnited with my friend, Nick Black. In that time we've made every mistake in the book.

...we launched products that nobody needed
...we hired junior people and gave them big titles
...we made product decisions without consulting our users

Failure was our biggest teacher.

But we did get one thing right...

We picked a problem and an industry that we care deeply about and never strayed from our mission:

To empower nonprofits to have a 1:1 relationship with every supporter‍

Eventually we found product/market fit and have since helped the world’s largest and most impactful nonprofits raise over $1B in social networks.

In 2022 GoodUnited secured No. 460 on the 2022 Inc. 5000 annual list and in 2023 I became a finalist for the Ernst and Young Southeast Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Outside of GoodUnited, I founded Startup Grind Charleston as a passion project to build a startup community where I live in Charleston, SC. Every quarter I host fireside chat events that brings together local startups, founders, innovators, and creators to learn from and help one another.

I love getting into the weeds to help nonprofits increase revenue through social media and to encourage people who want to start companies take their first step.

we wrote a book

Fuel the Next Wave of Philanthropic Giving

I spent a decade building a company that helped the world's largest and most impactful nonprofits raise over $1B in social networks.

But we've always known that in order to accomplish the mission of GoodUnited we'd have to make our playbook more accessible.

That's why I co-authored One-Click to Give.

If you're a nonprofit who's spending time, energy, and money building a community in social networks, then it's time you learned how to create relationships and monetize that community.

One-Click To Give will show you the way!

STARTUP GRIND

Community Builder.

When I moved to Charleston, SC I wanted to join a startup community to surround myself with other people in the arena.

But it didn't exist.

So I created Startup Grind Charleston. Every quarter I host a fireside chat that brings together local startups, founders, innovators, and creators.
