About

I help brands find ways to make people stop scrolling.​

 

Over the years, I've worked with everyone from grassroots organizers, big and small consumer brands, to global philanthropies, always bringing a mix of heart, strategy, and well-placed humor. Whether it's navigating a communications crisis or helping someone rediscover the power of their personal story, I show up with clarity and creativity. And I'll take effectiveness over perfection, any time.

​

I reject the status quo and gravitate to doing things differently. Keywords to get a conversation going with him include taking the long way home, Queer culture, theater, music, mid-century anything, David Sedaris, and indulging in a well-watched episode of Designing Women.

Trivia

South Dakota

I grew up in the same house that my dad was raised in. In fact, he was born in the kitchen in '32 and I had the same bedroom growing up as he did. I got mad-love for SD.
