Over the course of the next 25 years, first as its executive director and later as its president, Sandy grew the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation from a single employee in a single office into a global enterprise with six locations in two countries and a team of more than 75 people.
Sandy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1978 and as a member of the Order of the Coif of the University of Maryland School of Law in 1981. He practiced law with his father and grandfather, and volunteered in his community alongside his parents, Jerome and Shoshana Shoubin Cardin, both of whom had strong Jewish identities and instilled in him a strong commitment to serving others. Sandy left the law and the business world in 1992 to become the Mid-Atlantic
Regional Director of the Jerusalem Foundation, the position he held when he was recruited by the Schustermans.
A frequent speaker and author of numerous articles on philanthropy, Sandy is widely recognized as a leader in the field. Among the boards on which he has served are the Council on Foundations, the National Center for Family Philanthropy and the Jewish Funders Network.
Sandy lives in Queenstown, Maryland, with his wife and partner, Melody McCoy. The couple has four children.view less
