Mike joined the Associated Ministries team as Executive Director in August 2015, bringing more than 30 years of experience in nonprofit leadership roles. Mike says: “I’m energized by the vital role that Associated Ministries has played for 50 years spearheading faith-based efforts to positively impact social needs in our community. I believe a new movement of interfaith service and cooperation is being raised up in Pierce County, with AM and its congregational partners serving as catalysts behind effective efforts to address homelessness and other vulnerabilities.”

As part of his three decades of work with international religious and humanitarian organizations, Mike has traveled to 30 countries and is a dedicated observer of news and trends affecting nonprofits and social justice issues.
