During his tenure, NPCA's WorldView magazine earned prestigious EDDIE and OZZY Awards for editorial excellence.

His international development career includes nearly two decades of leadership positions with ACDI/VOCA, a leading international development organization.

His work focused on empowering rural communities, strengthening agricultural value chains, and building the capacity of local institutions to drive sustainable development. These experiences deepened his expertise in managing multi-million dollar programs, navigating complex political environments, and building teams that deliver measurable impact.

A returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Mr. Blumhorst served - with his wife, Cathy - in Guatemala from 1988 to 1991, specializing in crop diversification and community development. This formative experience profoundly shaped his career trajectory and instilled a lifelong commitment to international service and cross-cultural understanding.

In 2023, Mr. Blumhorst co-founded RPCV Ventures, a public benefit corporation that assists returned Peace Corps Volunteers in accessing, implementing, and scaling social impact business opportunities.

He also co-founded the Global Peace Political Action Committee, which endorses and contributes to candidates who are committed to policies supporting international peace and development initiatives. Additionally, he serves as founder and principal of Blumhorst & Associates LLC, a boutique consulting firm in the Washington, DC–Baltimore area specializing in nonprofit strategy, fundraising, and organizational development.

Throughout his career, Mr. Blumhorst has been recognized for his ability to build high-performing leadership teams that drive meaningful change across diverse cultural and organizational settings. His approach emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and strategic thinking, enabling organizations to achieve ambitious goals while maintaining strong organizational culture.

He volunteers monthly at the Capital Area Food Bank distribution center, maintaining his commitment to direct community service alongside his professional responsibilities.

Mr. Blumhorst has contributed thought leadership in his field through various channels. He publishes the Peace Corps Worldwide newsletter and RPCV book announcements, and has authored widely read commentary in outlets including The Hill and the Chicago Tribune, addressing topics ranging from international development policy to Peace Corps appropriations and the value of global service.

Mr. Blumhorst holds a Master of Public Administration with a focus on international and community development from the University of Missouri–Columbia, earned in 1987, and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a specialization in economics from the same institution, awarded in 1985. His academic foundation in both agricultural economics and public administration has provided essential grounding for his career bridging technical development expertise with nonprofit management and policy advocacy.

His honors include the University of Missouri's Citation of Merit and the prestigious Faculty-Alumni Award, the highest honor bestowed by the University of Missouri Alumni Association. Earlier in his career, he received ACDI/VOCA's President's Award for Meritorious Service in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the organization's mission.
