My days are spent shooting and editing, social media marketing and handling media requests that require me to communicate abstract creative concepts.Media appearances include TV, web interviews, podcasts, sponsored online workshops, and even starring in a feature length documentary. Media trained through Steven Wilson, BWR.Major highlights of my career include the release of my debut monograph with Anthology Editions publishing, a solo showing at Aperture Gallery in Chelsea, New York, having my work featured at the MoMA bookstore, and placing as a finalist in the 2018 Hasselblad Masters competition.

I joined Instinct’s editorial staff in mid-2009, was promoted to associate within two years later and oversaw the first redesign of InstinctMagazine.com in 2013. Soon after — with a focus on content production, celebrity interviews, video production, editorial management, UX design input, staff hiring, and social media strategy — my work helped Instinct reach an average of 1.8 million unique visitors a month, 3m visits, and 5m page views (between August 2013 and August 2014). Because of our great online success, the value of ad sales at InstinctMagazine.com exploded from $.75 in 2019 to a business-saving sales average of $7 - $35 per CPM in 2014.After being promoted to associate editor in 2012, I was handed the keys to Instinct’s social media networks, and, along with my online editorial team, have managed to gain nearly 400,000 followers on Facebook. Other vital stats integral to our social media fitness: every week on Facebook, Instinct averages a 3.1 million person reach, 450,000 engagements, 90,000 likes, 13,000 shares, and 960,000 post clicks. In other words, I know how to write content and headlines that spread like wildfire on social media.Finally, my day to day responsibilities included a wide array of typical editorial tasks from overseeing celebrity photo-shoots to researching and producing interactive travel features (my favorite) to pitching and executing monthly content strategies for our writing staff.

-I launched the L.A. edition of the popular email blast publication He Said (then Gay List Daily) in 2007. My claim to fame (and what fostered a promotion to national editor) was scoring one of nascent Lady Gaga’s first interviews. -I was swiftly promoted to the editor of the e-blast publication's national edition, a demanding but ultimately satisfying position-I soon transferred to New York to save Gay List Daily’s struggling Gotham edition. I breathed life back into that baby with an aggressive CPR like you’ve never seen! I only used a little bit of tongue.
