I use communications strategies to make social change—in organizations, in media, and in our own families. Elevating the voices of diverse people, and applying my own, I use the principles and tools of storytelling to fight inequity and build a more just society.I am available for freelance and contract writing, editing, design, and coaching projects.I am also a public speaker and blogger on popular culture, parenting, and being a straight white male. My TEDxBeaconStreet talks have been viewed more than 2.5 million times, including in high school and college classrooms around the world. I have spoken and facilitated dialogues in community centers, prep schools, and Walt Disney Animation Studios. I worked with LeanIn.org and Girl Scouts of America's "Ban Bossy" campaign to adapt the talk "How Movies Teach Manhood" into a family toolkit for starting discussions of gender bias in media with kids. My first career was as a stage actor, specializing in musicals and Shakespeare. My background is in graphic design, Star Wars trivia, and white privilege.
Listed skills include Nonprofits, Public Speaking, Volunteer Management, Blogging, and 36 others.

Since 1966, METCO has gone against the tide of segregation, connecting families of color with predominantly white suburbs around Boston. As the organization's first Director of Communications, Outreach, & Engagement, I helped spread the inspiring stories of the thousands of students, parents, and teachers who are transformed by the chance to learn together, while our society continues to distribute opportunity inequitably.

I've since spoken at Walt Disney Animation Studios and DisneyToon Studios, Families First, Concord Academy, Needham Diversity Initiative/World of Wellesley, Brookline Adult Education Speaker Series, and more.My second TED talk asks whether Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey," at least in the form we see it in popular entertainment, is really a guide for a good life.In my third TED talk, I follow the questions about white male overrepresentation in our society to their logical conclusion: to what extent have I absorbed the myth of privilege? What is my responsibility as the parent of white children to tell them the truth?Alongside my own talks, I've recruited and coached numerous other speakers, who have been brilliant despite my advice.

Designed marketing materials for multiple performing-arts clients. Specialized in postcards and CD covers for theatrical productions and voice-over demos, including "Bush Is Bad," and "Altar Boyz."
Played multiple roles in the finally-closed off-Broadway production of this musical revue. Achieved the dream of going to work every day through a stage door. Learned that, contrary to common understanding, one does not escape monotony by succeeding as an actor; performing the same show every night for 18 months defines monotony. But I am proud to have worked with some delightful people at the Westside, Stuart Street and on tour.
Played Edmund in "Lear," Frank in "Merrily," Bobby in "Company," Lorenzo and Gobbo in two different "Merchant"s, Perchik in "Fiddler," Paris in "Romeo & Juliet," one of the sailors in "On the Town," a tree in at least three different children's theatre productions, a pirate/policeman/maiden in "Pirates of Penzance," myself in a cabaret, and Dubya in "The Passion of George W. Bush," a rock opera. What a great career. Was paid more than for all of those shows combined by Verizon for eating donuts… Show more Played Edmund in "Lear," Frank in "Merrily," Bobby in "Company," Lorenzo and Gobbo in two different "Merchant"s, Perchik in "Fiddler," Paris in "Romeo & Juliet," one of the sailors in "On the Town," a tree in at least three different children's theatre productions, a pirate/policeman/maiden in "Pirates of Penzance," myself in a cabaret, and Dubya in "The Passion of George W.
