“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools speak because they have to say something.” — Plato

Cody wears many hats as a program coordinator. His role is integral within several Foundation departments, like Programs and Communications, and he provides vital support to board-related activities and in the Foundation’s work to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI).

Before joining the Foundation, Cody worked as a gear coordinator and trail guide for Wilderness Inquiry, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that provides inclusive outdoor experiences.

Though he spent over half his life in southern California, Cody considers himself a true Minnesotan, embracing all that every season has to offer. He also has a deep love for learning and culture, translating into an enthusiasm for trivia, which he hosts regularly in the Twin Cities.

Above all else, Cody’s true passion is his family. He and his wife live in St. Paul, MN, with their teenage daughter and toddling son. They also have a Norwegian forest cat named Persi.
