How I Can Help You

I can help you with questions about starting a nonprofit or social enterprise. My areas of expertise include non-profit management, social entrepreneurship and the environment. I have worked and taught in the Caribbean and in Brazil and consulted with the World Bank and USAID in India, Nepal, and Central America. I serve on the board of directors of several non-profits. I can provide help with developing your plans for your non-profit, social enterprise or beneficial corporation. I am the author of The Good Company {2012} and The Good Company: Hospitality, Tourism and Wine {2016} and a Professor Emeritus in the School of Business and Economics, Sonoma State University.
