Karl joined the NTEN team back in 2006 as an AmeriCorps CTC VISTA Volunteer, and then stayed on after accepting a position as NTEN's Data and Systems Manager. After working remotely from Chicago for 3 years, he moved to Seattle in 2011 and took on a more strategic role as IT Manager.

Before NTEN, Karl served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Niger, West Africa. His focus was on community development, but he also worked in several other fields including AIDS awareness, environmental education, and small income generation. This experience allowed him to see first hand the huge impact technology can have in the nonprofit and development fields.

Karl graduated from Pomona College in 2002 with a BA in Physics, and this technical background nicely complements his development experience in his role at NTEN.

Outside of work, Karl keeps himself occupied with a variety of intramural sports leagues and video games, but also jumps at any chance to escape into the wilderness with his wife Anna and their yellow lab Nali.

Lindsay joins NTEN from a background in program development, education, and hospitality. She loves nothing more than creating interactions and educational opportunities where people can work together on innovative ideas and solutions and change the world. 

Recently transplanted to the West Coast from the East Coast, Lindsay is an Oklahoma native who firmly believes that her Oklahoma State Cowboys will win the National Championship this year. She's also a Florence and the Machine fanatic, enjoys cooking and entertaining, and swears that this year is when she'll start running again, although she currently spends more time running after her two awesome little boys and husband than out on a trail.

Brendan Blaine, IT Systems Manager

Since joining NTEN in August, 2010 Brendan has been learning everything he can about the nonprofit sector. While new to the NPTech community, he has been assembling and disassembling (much to his parents' trepidation) electronics since he was a child. He brings that love of technology with him to NTEN, where he helps connect people with the programs that will help them to learn how to use technology to further their missions and change the world.

When not working Brendan can be found wearing his ridiculously oversized headphones playing video games on his custom built PC, skateboarding with friends, reading , experimenting with photography or relaxing with his wife and their menagerie of furry beasts.

Julie Tonroy is a native Oregonian who spent the last two decades in San Francisco working in technical publishing, conferences, trade shows, and theatrical event logistics. Julie comes to NTEN with a background in nonprofit work dedicated to environmental, economic, and social justice, and she holds a B.A. in urban studies and planning from San Francisco State University.

In her free time, Julie enjoys travel, volunteering at her son’s school, collecting mid-century kitsch, and spending time with her family. Julie sees herself as a conduit of information exchange. She is excited to practice her professional event management skills within the nptech arena in a way that will create positive change in the world.

Eileigh Doineau, Membership Coordinator

Arriving at NTEN has been a happy bend in the road for Eileigh, who comes from a background in environmental design and English literature. After a year in AmeriCorps teaching environmental education, a summer in Africa working with communities to protect local natural resources, and a master's thesis on design and community engagement, she ventured into the nonprofit realm. Though Eileigh loves to get her hands dirty out in the real world, she recognizes that technology is a transformative tool of empowerment and is delighted to be helping others make the most of it.

Away from her computer, Eileigh enjoys short stories, burritos, and wilderness ramblings.

She attended college at Washington State University, where she studied philosophy, pre-law, and sustainable development. She was also highly active in student government at WSU, chairing 2 student organizations related to environmentalism and political engagement. Heather is excited learn and participate in all that technology can do for good in this world.
