He is a certified public accountant in the state of Ohio with twelve years of combined experience providing accounting advisory services, specializing in complex accounting issues and transactions for both public and private companies, and previously as an external auditor.

“We welcome our three new directors and look forward to their contributions,” comments Kristin Broadbent, president and CEO of the Foundation. “Each offers a unique background and perspective that will boost our collective efforts to help grant partners better address needs and gaps affecting health and well-being of people in Lakewood and surrounding communities.”

The board also honored the memory of director Bill LaPlace who passed away earlier this year with acknowledgment of his dedication to the formation and work of the Foundation.
