About Marc

Marc is founder of FundraisingCoach.com and the author of Ask Without Fear!.

Marc coaches fundraising executives and small business owners. Through his fundraising and time management seminars and one-on-one work, he helped his clients reconnect with their passion.

A regular contributor at 501 Mission Place, he loves asking people for money and is fond of saying, “Fundraising is an extreme sport!” He’s invited to speak at conferences and teaches fundraising seminars and nonprofit marketing to various organizations including Blackbaud’s Conferences for Nonprofits, Habitat for Humanity International, and AFP regional meetings.

Marc also planted and pastored the Vineyard Church of Waterville and pastored it for nearly four years. When he’s not helping others get passionate about Kingdom life or raising money, Marc likes:

Coffee: He prides himself on being fairly accurate at identifying the geographical origin of coffee simply by its taste.
Reading: He reads an average of a book a week on an extremely wide variety of topics.
Travel: Having traveled around the world, Marc cannot wait to get back to India for some excellent masala dossa.
Beer: With the strong encouragement of his wife, he stopped talking about wanting to homebrew and actually brewed his first batch of beer in 2007.

Most importantly, he’s the husband of an incredible wife and the father of three amazing kids.
