Barry@FPPCoalition.org
Leads: Learning, Marketing/Communication, Operations and Certified Practitioner in Financial Capability (CPFinCap) Initiatives
About Barry: Barry feels blessed to work with FPP as part of Career 3.0.
Barry began Career 1.0 as a hospitality operations leader in theme restaurants and theme parks for nearly ten years. While with Universal Orlando Resort, he parlayed his leadership acumen into a role in Human Resources/Learning and Development, and found his passion for developing talent and leadership.
Barry spent the next fifteen years in Career 2.0 as a learning leader in a variety of industries, including real estate development, agribusiness, supply chain logistics, financial services and non-profit healthcare. During this time, he honed his principles of leadership while designing and facilitating hundreds of strategic learning initiatives and consulting with countless leaders at all levels.
In 2014, Barry boldly stepped away from corporate life to author a leadership book on volunteer engagement. This shift to Career 3.0 led to multiple non-profit service opportunities locally and across the United States, including a two-year volunteer role with FPP.
The relationships built during that time led to the continuation of serving those who serve others with FPP.
Director, Bank On Florida
Patrick@FPPCoalition.org

About Patrick: Patrick recently completed a thirty-one-year career in the mortgage banking industry, including a decade at JP Morgan Chase, where he worked closely with community stakeholders as a Relationship Officer in Chase’s Community Engagement Division.

He currently serves as the Chair of the Palm Beach Affordable Housing Collaborative and the Broward Affordable Housing Task Force, and is a strong advocate for financial learning and the vital role it plays in financial access, financial capability and wealth building.

About Ryan:
Ryan developed the foundational skills necessary to support the FPP Coalition through IT and philanthropic work at East River High School. He expanded on these qualifications through engagement in web development work aligned with Orange County Public School Systems.

Upon showing his dedication to maintaining all of the technical aspects FPP’s initiatives and communication rely on, FPP welcomed Ryan into his current role. He has continued to work to support the Coalition’s technical needs while expanding into other roles in directing, producing, and editing content both published on Spondulics and used in FPP’s major initiatives.
As Ryan continues to work with the FPP Coalition, the next focus in is to expand upon the accessibility and inclusion efforts across all of FPP’s virtual platforms and ensure FPP is truly able to provide lessons in financial capability for all members and partners.
