About J.Paul Fridenmaker

I live and work out of Lynnwood, WA USA. I've had the great privilege and enjoyment of doing various fundraising projects for dozens of non profit Christian organizations over the last 15 years. I thoroughly enjoy imparting what I've learning and helping others to find fun and effective ways to raise funding for their good work.

My wife Julie and I have four children ages 7 to 14.
