Sam leads a talented resource development team at BGCAZ, one of the largest and fastest growing Boys & Girls Clubs in the country.

Before diving into the world of fundraising, he began his career as a pastor in Washington state and has led communities of faith in California, Montana, and Idaho.
A Mesa resident who grew up in Seattle, Sam has two grown children, Cody (23) and Kendra (21) who are constantly educating their dad on what’s actually hip and cool. He loves to write, whether it be his own work or ghost-writing for those who “always dreamed of writing a book.” Sam has been a sought-after speaker for events and conferences through the years, entertaining audiences with (mostly true) real-life tales that address real-world issues. He’s a big-time hoops guy who believes that people who played at Duke are better than most and that the Sonics need to come home. He holds a BA in Political Science from Northwest Nazarene University and a Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary -- which means if he can’t convince you of something, you know who he’s calling on next.
