  <about><![CDATA[Marc A. Pitman is the author of &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fundraisingcoach.com/ask-without-fear/&quot;&gt;Ask Without Fear!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://fundraisingcoach.com&quot;&gt;FundraisingCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;, a website dedicated to practical ideas for fundraising more effectively. 

Marc’s enthusiasm for fundraising has caught the attention of such organizations as Reuters, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Chronicle of Philanthropy, and the American Marketing Association. His lively presentations at conferences and fundraising seminars get him invited to various organizations like Blackbaud’s Conferences for Nonprofits, Habitat for Humanity International, the New England Association for Healthcare Philanthropy, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. 

He has created the &lt;a href=&quot;http://fundraisingcoach.com/articles/creating-donor-evangelists/&quot;&gt;Creating Donor Evangelists&lt;/a&gt; program and other tools to help you excel at raising money available at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://fundraisingcoach.com/store/&quot;&gt;Fundraising Coach Store&lt;/a&gt;.

Marc is also the Director of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://inlandfoundation.org&quot;&gt;Foundation&lt;/a&gt; of Inland Hospital, a former Vineyard church planter, husband to his best friend, and father of three amazing kids. And if you see him drive by, he’ll probably be singing 80’s tunes loud enough to embarass his family.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Starbucks, Ben &amp; Jerry's, &amp; Sam Adams (particulalry the stout)]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>01/06/1972</born_at>
