Peter Gulka’s Summary

I shepherd the Blackbaud User Society members by maintaining and cultivating the community in which they thrive. I've been using Raiser's Edge professionally for over 3 years and have come to learn just how powerful a tool it is in helping fundraising organizations. The community runs on a combination of Joomla, vBulletin, and Pligg and requires daily gardening to keep things healthy. I am constantly looking for new and exciting ways to bring value to the members and make blackbus.org a worthwhile place for them to call home.

In my day job I am administering my second RE database at St Paul's High School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and love using the systme to help promote and achieve the goals of the school. I manage all aspects of the database as well as assist in event planning, IT administration, desktop support, retail management of a small store in the school and the infmaous "Other duties as assigned"

I love what I do so much that the lines between work and not-work seem to blur.
