He began his career in 1973 as an English teacher at high school and community college levels, first in Nebraska and then in California, before joining the fund raising staff at the University of Portland in 1983. After directing the development office there for more than eight years, O'Malley was recruited by Washington State University to head the development office in the College of Engineering and Architecture, and eventually appointed Vice President and Director of Gift Planning at the WSU Foundation. In 1997 he was named Vice President for University Relations at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, where he oversees all development, alumni, public affairs, and conferences and events operations for the university.

Dr. O'Malley has served on numerous boards and committees in the non-profit sector, including those for CASE District VIII, Forest Grove (OR) Chamber of Commerce, Home Health & Hospice of Southeastern Washington, Washington County Hospice Foundation, the WSU Foundation, Pullman (WA) Memorial Hospital, St. Mary's School Foundation (Moscow, ID), and Valley Catholic High School (Beaverton, OR).

Dr. O'Malley earned his Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Portland, a Master of Arts degree in English from California State University in Hayward, and a Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Management from the University of Oregon. His dissertation, "The Effects of Consortium Fund Raising in Independent Higher Education," focused upon the efficacy of annual group solicitations of corporate donors for current operating support for Oregon Independent College Foundation's member institutions.
