I started Loomin Solutions, LLC in 2022 after taking leadership of a nonprofit organization sheltering homeless individuals and families named Holy Family Home & Shelter, INC at the end of 2021. I moved back to the east coast in 2021 due to COVID-19 and took an Executive Director position in a run down homeless shelter. I quickly identified areas of expense control and started a capital campaign. In my first year and a half, I raised $1.8M and rebranded Holy Family Home & Shelter, as HFHS. I sought out cost effective ways of building a website:
www.hfhscommunity.org along with Facebook & Instagram accounts. When I came on board Holy Family Home & Shelter, the building hadn't been updated in 15 years, no technology, they were doing payroll internally, went 4 years without filing a 990, and barely made payroll for a small staff. With minimal resources I created an organization that combines shelter, programs for homeless individuals to become self sufficient such as partnering with KeyBank to provide financial literacy classes, bought an apartment complex to start our supportive housing division for those with poor renting history, and began an outreach program into our community. I created an advisory board made up of community members from all walks of life including homeless individuals that were able to find stable housing.
At each milestone I was asked how I was able to do it and if I ever considered consulting. Loomin Solutions was born from that experience. I have the skill set and knowledge to assist other nonprofit organizations through leadership, strategic planning, staff development, board development, fundraising, training, etc. The website for Loomin Solutions can be found here:
www.loominsolutions.com. My vision for Loomin Solutions is to assist other small to medium nonprofit organizations that are truly peoples passion projects. I want to help add leadership and experience to nonprofits that may not be able to afford the support needed, yet make an impact in our communities with the work they do.
Prior to becoming the CEO/Executive Director of HFHS, I was an executive with the YMCA for 8 years. Before my time at the YMCA, I was a General Manager with Marriott Brand Hotels. Hired by the Hanover Area YMCA originally as a Chief Operations Officer, I was quickly promoted to President/COO. After growing the Hanover Area YMCA and adding a new facility, I was recruited to become the Chief Strategy Officer & Executive Director of the Greater Wichita YMCA.
