DIRECTOR TEAM

ANDY GOEBEL

Chief Executive Officer

(he/him)
Originally from the great state of Michigan, Andy Goebel is a podcast junkie, lifelong Detroit Lions fan (yes, even during the rough years), and proud North Portland neighbor. He moved to the Rose City with his family over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with its scrappy, soulful spirit—and its deep sense of community.
As the founder and CEO of Sunstone Way, Andy feels incredibly lucky to work alongside a team of brilliant, big-hearted humans who show up every day with courage, vulnerability, and a relentless commitment to doing right by the people we serve. He’s proud to be part of a crew that believes in second chances, celebrates progress over perfection, and is constantly learning how to do this work better.
While his role says CEO, Andy sees himself first and foremost as a teammate—someone who believes in leading with heart, showing up with humility, and rolling up his sleeves whenever and wherever he’s needed. He believes change is possible—and that it starts with relationships, respect, and a whole lot of showing up.

ALICIA HOVANAS

Chief Operating Officer

(she/her)
Originally from a small town in Washington, Alicia moved to the Rose City for her undergrad. She received her BA in theology and biblical studies with a minor in Hebrew. Afterward, she completed a post-baccalaureate in pre-medicine. Alicia is passionate about human flourishing – mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and especially physically.
Alicia brings experience in systems and operations, consulting for nonprofit organizations, healthcare delivery systems, and a fair share of insight from parenting two children. She is skilled in identifying problems before they arise and creating strategic plans accordingly.
In her spare time, Alicia enjoys mastering arduous baking endeavors for the thrill of it, writing, cooking, and deepening her understanding of chemistry and physics. As a purveyor of information and thrusting synapse connections on those around her, she often finds herself in teaching and speaking opportunities. Alicia is a lover of people, who invests deeply in their growth, and seeks to leave people feeling better than before their interaction.

She decided to make a change and step into communications and development upon realizing the impact a larger audience can have on a nonprofits’ work and mission. Devon is passionate about facilitating the connection between an individual's desire to make a difference and a meaningful avenue for taking action.
In her free time, she enjoys yelling out the answers while watching Jeopardy, catching the latest horror movie, spoiling her 2 cats, and testing out recipes from the New York Times.

JAMES FISHER

Director of Information and Technology

(he/him)
James moved to Portland back in 2007 escaping the oppressive heat and humidity of Central Florida. During that time, he was scooped up by Apple where he was a trainer/iOS support. From there James gained his IT chops at startups ranging from sysadmin to project manager to traditional boots on the ground IT.
James has a passion for connecting people with technology. He is always looking for new solutions to support and empower All Good Northwest participants and staff in the day-to-day operations.
Outside of work, James can be found obsessing about music, hanging out with his family, traveling, harassing his cat and 2 Weiner dogs, and throwing down some tunes at local DJ gigs.

RICHARD STELLNER

Chief Human Resources Officer

(he/him)
Richard is a native Minnesotan and a lifelong transportation enthusiast. With his Bachelors’ and MBA degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, Richard started his career in the airline industry. While working as a gate agent supervisor at Chicago O’Hare Airport, you may have seen Richard on the in-flight video thanking you for flying United Airlines. After completing his MBA degree, Richard became a station manager with Northwest Airlines, first in Sioux City, Iowa; then Madison, Wisconsin; and eventually Portland, Oregon.
After leaving the airline industry and staying in Oregon, Richard found a niche as a HR and labor consultant. Richard enjoys the wide variety of juggling multiple clients simultaneously, including private, public, and non-profit organizations. Richard came to All Good Northwest in late 2023 as interim HR director and is now focusing his energies at Sunstone Way.
In his free time, Richard loves to travel, and the mode of transportation is as important as the destination. Be it foot travel backpacking wilderness trails, taking overnight trains, crossing oceans by ship, to of course airplanes, Richard finds something magical about being “en route”, neither at your origination or your destination.
