Courtney has more than 25 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, ministry and consulting. His work has helped to expand the reach and impact of nonprofits to thousands of people in more than 30 countries. He is a seminary trained nonprofit and ministry leader with degrees and certifications in Education and Leadership. Most recently, in 2018, he was awarded a Certificate of Achievement in Nonprofit Fund Development by the Mendoza College of Business of the University of Notre Dame. Currently, the focus of his work is helping nonprofits to be more engaged with donors and more effective through strategic collaborations.

Courtney spent the first 15 years of his career establishing an international network of sports-minded individuals and organizations that used athletics as a platform for building relationships and restoring hope in more than 100 countries. This experience was used to develop strategies for making use of other requested resources, business leadership, and social interests, to provide support for the underserved, assistance for refugee populations, and promotion of faith-based causes through out the world.

Based in Rome, Georgia, where his wife Stefanie is the Director of Music Education at Berry College, Courtney has continued involvement in international interests, but has also taken advantage of opportunities to invest in the nonprofit leadership in his small town. In the last 8 years, he has assisted multiple church, academic and social service organizations in their efforts to raise more than $12,000,000 from mostly local source strategies.
