The Team

T. Michael Trimm (he/him) is an Ohio native now calling Albuquerque, NM home. He brings his prior background in restaurant operations, event planning and security, and hospitality and hotel operations in addition to his nonprofit leadership experience to Family Promise of Albuquerque (FPA) as the newest executive director to lead the organization. Michael believes strong communities will save the world and is excited to be a small part of strengthening the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho communities through FPA's work. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with loved ones, cheering on his favorite sports teams, and indulging in one of his guilty pleasures- watching reality TV series like "Married at First Sight" or "Love is Blind."

Karel began his journey with Family Promise of Albuquerque in 2018. When we purchased our new van at the end of 2018 and were looking for someone to fill the van driver position we believed he was he best candidate.
Karel has an amazing attention to detail and enjoys driving the children to school and the adult guests to and from the shelter. During the Pandemic he has provided overnight hosting services to insure the safety of the guests at the static site.
When he is not working family comes first. He is a dedicated father and husband. You will also probably catch him playing a game of chess. He is definitely a strategic player on the team.

Tina was part of one of the first guest families that Family Promise of Albuquerque served. She has worked very hard to keep her family stabilized. Tina has always been grateful to Family Promise of Albuquerque for the assistance she received.
When she heard that we needed overnight hosting assistance she jumped at the chance to apply even though she was working full-time at a local grocery store. She helps the families to see that with hard work they to can change the trajectory of their life. She encourages families with wisdom from her journey. Her fair perspective, that everyone is facing a battle that you know nothing about, so show them kindness helps our guest families to feel safe and nurtured.
When she is not working family comes first. You will most likely catch her babysitting her grandkids.
