Hi, I’m Darren, and I blog here at the Nonprofit Wizards (I’m the one on the right).

In my work I’m fortunate to have had hudreds of conversations with Nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors. Certain struggles and frustrations come up again and again. So I write about it.

In my opinion, being a nonprofit executive is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. So I hope to maybe make you laugh. At least make you smile.

If you have thoughts you’d like me to write about, drop me a note.

Never miss an update!
