Class of 00 Tyler Kamerman: Placing Things in God’s Hands

Placing Things in God’s Hands

Tyler Kamerman ’00 has always been ambitious, always seeking new challenges. He’s held numerous positions in sales and financial services, and he’s an in-demand voice over and on-camera talent. He even has his own podcast, “Pursuing Your Passion.”

Kamerman’s current passion is serving as chief development officer for Many Hands — a faith-based international nonprofit with a local focus through its Many Hands Thrift Markets. Actually, his passion found him.

“This wasn’t something I was looking for,” said Kamerman. “The founder/CEO of Many Hands and I interned together at Pella Corp. 25 years ago and we’ve always stayed in touch. He threw me a curveball [this position offer] in 2022 and I really felt this was where God was leading me.”

Kamerman partners with businesses, organizations, churches and individuals to raise funds in support of Many Hands. Their goal is to “break the generational chains of poverty” while fostering education, leadership development, economic development, medical assistance and more — all wrapped in spiritual development.

“Every job that I’ve had has better prepared me for the work I do today,” said Kamerman. “The people of Haiti need our help, and I’m excited about the challenge of growing our donor base exponentially over the next few years to help bring lasting change.”
