Welcome. I enjoy learning about investing and how we can catalyze new culture-changing possibilities.
I’ve spent the last 15 years building organizations and communities at the intersection of faith, finance, and structural change. My work is rooted in a belief that capital—when stewarded with integrity—can be a tool for deep cultural renewal, economic justice, and spiritual transformation.
I co-founded and serve as the Executive Director of the Francesco Collaborative, where we convene mission-aligned Catholic and faith-driven investors to explore how to invest in ways that reflect their deepest values. Our workshops, labs, and summits help faith-based institutions wrestle with the crises of our time—climate, inequality, democracy—and respond by reimagining the logics that guide investment decisions.
In 2025, I launched Livable Future Impact, a platform for institutional investors—including family offices, foundations, and endowments—who are committed to investing in high-integrity impact funds aligned with Catholic Social Teaching and integral ecology. Through Livable Future Impact, I support investment diligence, fund curation, peer convenings, and investment readiness—especially for emerging managers and ecosystem-building intermediaries. I also serve as a Registered Representative with Umergence, working with impact fund managers raising capital.
I’m currently a Director of the Catholic Impact Investing Collaborative, helping steward a broader movement of Catholic investors shifting toward impact-first capital strategies that are spiritually grounded and mission-aligned.
Before this chapter of my work, I co-founded and grew the Community Purchasing Alliance Cooperative, a member-led coop of schools and congregations in Washington, D.C., that collectively negotiated over $20 million/year in energy and facility service contracts to advance sustainability and equity. I also served on the board of Start.coop, supporting the next generation of cooperative entrepreneurs.
Underlying all of this is a hope: that by reclaiming depth of contemplative prayer and spirituality in our faith traditions and aligning our economic lives with our deepest commitments, we can restore a soul to the economy of tomorrow. I’m privileged to be part of a growing network of faithful asset stewards—investors, fund managers, entrepreneurs, and movement leaders—working to build a more just, cooperative, and sustainable economy.
I live in Durham, North Carolina with Casey Stanton and our three children.
