Mike comes to The Wildlife Society after working in independent schools and nonprofits over the past twenty years. Prior to that, he had a long career in a variety of capacities at Fannie Mae. He has worked for a number of organizations in the Roaring Fork Valley including the Aspen Music Festival and Aspen Country Day School. These experiences have allowed Mike to meld the best practices of both the corporate and nonprofit worlds to optimize organizational finance and operational capabilities. Additionally, Mike has served on numerous nonprofit boards which has given him important insights into Board governance.
Mike is very interested, some would say obsessed, with finding efficiencies, creating strong internal controls and leveraging technology to create financial systems and reports that can become the backbone of financial planning. He is also a CPA.
As a native, and current resident, of the D.C.-area Mike has spent a great portion of his adulthood living in Colorado both as a ski bum and holding actual professional jobs. If you ever feel the need to talk about mountain biking or skiing he is always happy to participate.
