David started as an academic with the intent to become a professor, but a small nonprofit’s $50,000 problem changed his life. With less than a thousand dollars, David solved the problem and saw firsthand the incredible growth that a little investment can bring. He became the go-to person for data management and custom applications, discovering the power of committed people with the right tools. Now, he’s the founder and principal of Undaunted Consulting. David is driven to make a global impact with his talents.
When he isn’t working, you can find David trying to be good at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, power-reading sci-fi novels, or working on yet another home improvement project he was in no way qualified to attempt.
Case Management: Supporting social justice nonprofits by setting up new case management software or overhauling existing platforms. Online form data securely transmits submitted information to an internal system, with automations to reduce staff stress and response times, and reports and accountability measures in place to ensure appropriate care and follow-up.
Systems Research: Supporting nonprofits that need to reduce waste and increase security. Existing systems are evaluated for vulnerability, redundancy, and adoption failure. Leadership gains insights that enable them to streamline processes, cut costs, and improve staff efficiency.
Program Management: Supporting public engagement and educational nonprofits by implementing cloud-based constituent management technologies. Different tracking spreadsheets are consolidated to create a single source of truth and enable more reliable long-term tracking, engagement, and impact reporting.
Custom Applications: Supporting unique needs of nonprofits that can’t find software that meets their requirements. APIs and middleware sync external sources to a low-code app, and custom scripts streamline tedious staff operations, reducing errors and freeing up valuable internal resources.
In the end, I think the meaning of life is probably other people.
