Sam was *this* close to going to rabbinical school...but then pivoted to found OpenTent in 2015. The drive underlying these paths is a passion for bringing people into the blessing of genuine community, thick relationships, and deep devotion to making the world a little bit better. Before OpenTent, Sam served as the Senior Engagement Associate at NYU's Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life where he built relationships with 327 students and set up Salesforce to be able to track all his team's relationships. Sam hails from the tiny but illustrious village of Farmington, Maine, and makes fierce fish tacos.

Mel is a self-defined queer geeky weirdo interested in the intersection of technology and social justice work. Throughout Mel's work with nonprofits, she was frustrated by the systemic inefficiencies that could be solved with better tools. She enrolled in a bootcamp with St Louis-based LaunchCode in 2016 and has been working with nonprofits as a technologist ever since. She hopes to help go-getters promote their missions as effectively as global corporations sell their brands. She lives in St Louis with her dog where she is committed to eco-sustainable home rehab and transportation, and volunteers as a PostgreSQL coder at a refugee resettlement agency.

Eva’s true love for data bloomed at the National Ramah Commission, where she helped track and strengthen a national alumni network through a new shared database.

Eva is a graduate of Connecticut College, a lover of boardgames, and a passionate advocate for technology within the nonprofit universe.

Madeline believes that working with Salesforce is like writing a novel; with a clear vision, strong narratives, solid mechanics and some patience, all nonprofits can use data to tell an amazing story. After completing an MA in Museum Education at Tufts, she worked for a writing-based nonprofit in Philadelphia where she helped to implement and administer Salesforce. Madeline is thrilled to be a part of your team - unless we’re talking ice hockey, in which case she will always root for Pittsburgh.

Nick loves helping people use technology to champion the causes that matter to them and believes that Salesforce is the best tool to do it. He loves tinkering and figuring out how things work, so he’s renovating an Airstream trailer named Alice, which he and his wife (and their two cats) plan to move into soon. He enjoys traveling around the world - most recently Australia and Antarctica - and photographing the places and people he sees along the way.
