Kirk Glaze, Ethnē’s Director of Development, received his B.S. in Business Administration from Samford University. He grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and went to school in Birmingham before moving to Atlanta and meeting his future wife, Susie. He retired from The Coca-Cola Company after 31 years of working mainly in the philanthropic and community investment areas; his role was to develop and manage partnerships with nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and Canada that aligned with philanthropic priorities, with a focus on education, the environment, and community well-being. Fundraising, Donor Relationships, and Development are his specialties.

He came to Ethnē just over a year ago after hearing and becoming passionate about the clinic’s work in serving the people of Clarkston with a Mission-focused staff. He feels privileged to serve the Clarkston community—getting to “go into all of the world” with hope and healing in a community of people that God is bringing from all over the world. A good day for him is sharing with potential and current donors how donations help Ethnē deliver high value primary and dental care to people who otherwise would face barriers of access, language, and affordability. 

Kirk & Susie are parents and grandparents, and they love spending time with their family. Kirk also enjoys cycling, walking, reading, watching British TV mysteries, and serving his church, Intown Community Church.
