Fun Facts
With my mom and our business partner in Egypt, I co-own the Pyramids Overlook Inn, a small, 3-room hotel about 250 yards from the Great Sphinx in Giza. (It has a dazzling view from the patio.)
I’m the completely-obsessed owner of nearly 100 cookbooks, and “Baker” my own bread twice a week.

Additional Information
I love to travel, I love to fix problems, and I love training and public speaking. I’ve been in the business of creating, working with, and helping fix nonprofits since 1995, and it gets more fun every year. I hope we can work together soon!
