I am the Development Director for the Foundation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I joined the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation team after serving as the Superintendent of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park. I spent four decades with the National Park Service, during which I managed the restoration of historic structures in Yellowstone, Hot Springs, and Bryce Canyon national parks, among many others. I’ve also overseen the extensive repair of the C&O Canal towpath, aqueducts, and other canal structures. I previously served as the project manager for the Foundation, serving as a liaison between the Foundation and the National Park Service. In my current role, I conduct community outreach and fundraising in the commonwealth.
