Community work

Nineteen years of mission-driven service.

Five organizations from 2007 to the present. Twelve-year fundraising tenure at Anchor Point Ministries. Now serving as Director of Development & Communication at a Bay Area faith-based youth nonprofit. The same operating discipline I bring to commercial engagements, applied in volunteer and mission settings. This page is the dump on the longitudinal context. The corporate operating work lives on the main page.

The chronology.

The thread across nineteen years is not denominational. It is operational. Each role added structural responsibility. Each role demanded relationship work over multi-year arcs. Each role taught donor and community stewardship at a different scale.

2007

Irvine First Korean Evangelical Church

First volunteer role. Foundational service. The grounding in what disciplined community work looks like at the local-church level.

2009

Irvine Bethel Church

Stepped into more structural responsibility. Started owning programs end to end rather than supporting them.

2011

Korean Methodist Church

Cross-denominational service. The pattern stayed the same across institutional differences: relationships are the infrastructure, not the activity.

Why this is on the site at all.

This work is not the lead pitch for a VP+ corporate operating role. It is context. But it is real context: eighteen years of voluntary commitment that demonstrates a longitudinal pattern of taking on increasing responsibility in mission-driven settings and sustaining donor relationships across multi-year arcs.

The corporate operating work and this work share one architecture: diagnose, install controls, build the next layer of leaders, measure what matters, move on to the next layer. Different vocabulary. Same operating rule.

Operations is the product. That has been true in restaurants, in franchise portfolios, in digital growth practices, and inside mission-driven nonprofit work, for sixteen years across two parallel tracks.
