Nonprofit Leadership and Management Graduate Steve Kappes Follows Passions to ‘Encore Career’

Steve Kappes, Zero8Hundred's Board Chair and retired United States Navy Captain, graduated this past May from the University of San Diego (USD) with a Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership and Management — and if you’re keeping track, yes, this is his second advanced degree.

“A couple of years ago, I started to think, ‘I’ve done a lot of military-related work, and that has been extremely fulfilling, but it’s a big world out there with a lot of other possibilities,’” says Kappes. “It got me thinking, ‘What else might I like to do?’”

One of his initial thoughts was to do something that continued his passion for volunteer work.

“Community service is really important to me. As I reflected on that, I thought, ‘the next move I want to make career-wise is into the nonprofit sector.’”
