Jay Hunsberger has spent a lifetime honing the art of connection - as a musician, educator, and advisor - helping people uncover what they value most and channel it into meaningful action. Throughout his 30-year career as a classical musician, his discipline and creativity garnered accolades on stage in Sarasota, Florida, performing and teaching around the globe, and as an award-winning recording artist. He worked closely with board members, executive staff and high-capacity donors, helping them find focus and alignment towards common goals. At the heart of his university tenure was his strength at unlocking the full potential of his students through clarifying and magnifying their strengths and passions. Jay’s next chapter of life in hospitality and luxury wine further sharpened his ability to design high-touch client experiences, cultivate trust, and steward relationships with care and precision.

Drawing on this breadth of experience, Jay approaches philanthropy as both an art and a science. He listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and helps clients uncover the motivations and values that shape their giving. With warmth, humor, and grace, he translates those discoveries into tailored strategies that connect people, resources, and opportunities - ensuring each client’s philanthropy is both authentic to who they are and powerful in its impact.

Chad Hostetler has served as innovator, strategist, idea guy, solver, implementer, collaborator and partner-in-excellence to some of the most successful organizations and brands in the world, including The Walt Disney Company, Adobe, and PwC. 

His involvement with service and volunteering began as early as elementary school and it lit a lifelong drive to serve. Chad is passionate about working with nonprofits to bring the best thinking of the business world to help solve their challenges. He was worked within and with nonprofit organizations for more than three decades. 

His work always begins with the end: What do we want to accomplish? What is a bold, audacious dream? What’s our future story of success? He then designs every thoughtful detail and experience along the path towards that result.

Most challenges require more than one discipline to solve – they need “AND” thinking, not just “OR” thinking. “AND” is an excellent summary of Chad's skillset. “AND” is where innovation lives, and he helps clients and organizations find it.

Chad is a champion for possibility and potential. His unquenchable creative energy and continual attention to detail means clients consistently seek out his creative concepts and collaborative design skills for unique solutions to almost any challenge you can imagine. He is a seasoned facilitator, has always been connected to hospitality, and is particularly passionate about experience design.
