I'm a principal and director of Tactical Philanthropy at Ensemble Capital Management in Burlingame, CA, midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Ensemble Capital provides families both traditional investment management and a unique, specialized approach to advancing their philanthropic interests. I work with philanthropic families to help them integrate the personal and financial implications of their giving.

Recently I began writing the column On Philanthropy for the Financial Times. The columnist job grew out of my blog Tactical Philanthropy.
