He has also been a consistent top performer and fundraiser in these organizations. Most recently, as Executive Director of Development Health Affairs Advancement at UC Irvine, he was charged with advising and presenting targeted solutions to Health Sciences senior leadership on broad fundraising issues including long range planning, priority setting, establishing financial targets, and managing program implementation. During his tenure, he has created innovative programs aimed at identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding high capacity, high interest prospects and donors.
