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.

EVAN MCAVOY
Director of Retention Services
-
(he/him)
Originally from Massachusetts, Evan moved to Portland from sunny Florida in 2008. He received a BA in psychology from New College of Florida and his MSW from Portland State University. After graduation, he went on to pursue his clinical social work licensure (LCSW).
Evan has a long history in the human services and has worked in a diverse array of settings including inpatient and outpatient mental health, dual diagnosis, permanent supportive housing, and affordable and project-based housing. Most recently he came to us from the Community Services Dept. with Home Forward. Through the course of these experiences, Evan has learned a great deal about deeply inequitable structures that contribute to, and keep people in, poverty – though he is the first to admit that there is always so much more to learn and understand.
In general, Evan is thankful to be here – though he is often not sure where ‘here’ is. In his off hours he strives to live a quiet life in a quiet way. He reads, does graphite and charcoal illustrations, watches bad TV and hangs out on the couch trying not to eat too many potato chips.
DEVON HOYT
Director of Communications & Engagement
-
(she/her)
Born and raised in Portland, Devon’s love of Oregon and all the northwest has to offer keeps her firmly positioned to be a lifelong resident. This love also instilled a need to work towards creating a state that is welcoming, hospitable, and inclusive for all its residents.
Devon started her nonprofit career working in direct social services and emergency housing programs after completing the Bachelor of Social Work program at Portland State University. 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

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

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.

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.
