I believe everyone has the right to health, housing, and food. Unfortunately, our policies and funding system do not always reflect that belief. This does not stop the countless organizations that employ creativity, passion, and expertise to provide these essential services across the country. My best days at NFF are partnering with such organizations to manage finances and outcomes in the context of this system while simultaneously formulating the data and approaches to change the status quo of social sector spending and service provision. Once we get that all figured out, I will spend my extra spare time continuing to explore the countless biking/hiking/ski trails across California, cooking new experimental dishes, and traveling on a shoestring budget with my partner.
