Senior Strategist

I’m most excited about how Kennari partners with stakeholders to foster a more compassionate, healthier, and just society. By teaching best practices in fund development and building strong organizational capacity, we help nonprofits align their missions with donors’ passions, resulting in deeper investments that create lasting impact.

Andy joined Kennari Consulting in 2024 as a Senior Strategist. He works with clients in annual campaigns, capital campaigns, board development, major gifts, and planned giving. Andy’s strong relational skills and holistic approach build the kind of trust that lifts organizations to higher program performance and fund development results. His experience leading fund development seminars and workshops across the country complements his role with Kennari and its educational initiatives through Fundkit.

With 26 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, Andy has served as an executive director in West Michigan and as a major gift officer and director of philanthropy for a national organization. In his free time, he enjoys outdoor activities like biking, hiking, and kayaking, as well as playing racquetball. Andy has completed two full Ironman triathlons and loves game nights with his family.
