At Revolution House Media, we enjoy the challenge of building recognition and increasing market share for innovative brands in the outdoor, tactical and lifestyle markets. My background in public relations and marketing, coupled with a love of the outdoors, has led me to work with great brands like Big Sky Resort, NEMO Equipment, Inc. and Ruffwear. During my tenure in-house at NEMO, the brand doubled in sales year over year for six consecutive years, won 22 national awards, and expanded its media presence in the outdoor, moto, hunt/fish, and tactical/military markets. I work tirelessly to know my client's products, business, and mission inside and out. I have a knack for connecting people and brands who share similar goals and complement each other.

The Big Sky Community Organization is a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating year-round recreational programs, outdoor spaces, and community partnerships that serve all of Big Sky — enhancing access and quality of life for everyone that lives, works, and plays here. During my time as Board Chair, (Oct. 2020 - 2022) we opened Big Sky's first community center, BASE; hired a dynamic new CEO; assumed ownership of Big Sky's community ice rink from the Big Sky Skating and Hockey Association, raising funds and naming the rink for local resident and former Detroit Red Wing, Marty Pavelich; and updated the organization's brand messaging and logo.
