I’m an entrepreneur who, along with talented partners and collaborators, uses media and technology for the betterment of individual and societal health. My passions run from improving our national healthcare IQ to helping end our country’s unsettling divide. I built Convergence Point Media, a digital healthcare agency, to design media campaigns to provide essential health and treatment information about rare and under-diagnosed medical conditions. By keeping our portfolio selective while providing white glove client service and a rewarding employee experience, we have established long-term client relationships, served by an animated and inspired team, and sustained by a track record of word-of-mouth new business referrals. What's somewhat counterintuitive is that compassion and curiosity, which also could be described as genuine interest in people and purpose – as opposed to simply being masters of the "craft" of media and chasing priorities such as profit and growth – is ultimately a win-win. By putting these values first, the other goals happen naturally, with less stress, more joy and better outcomes. Under a similar lens – and borne out of the need to support those with questions about Covid vaccines in the fog of misinformation and politicization of the pandemic – I launched Face2Face America to educate and empowering people to make informed decisions about important health and medical issues. We are grateful for the support of some of our talented healthcare agency peers, from Dramatic Health, Fishawack Health and Mint Collective to Digitas Health and CMI Media Group, in addition to top endemic content platforms donating hundreds of millions of media impressions targeting vaccine-hesitant communities. In this spirit, I am a fierce advocate for the responsible and effective use of digital media and entertainment for positive societal impact. I founded Polaris Media Lab, a collective of industry-leading creators and executives, to develop, market and distribute compelling content for TV, social media, music and performance that entertains, moves, educates, and inspires. By reframing our differences as ingredients for discovery, creativity, and innovation, I believe we can reverse the forces of polarization that, sadly, media has too often only reinforced. The #mediamoonshot campaign is designed to elevate the urgency of solving this challenge by labeling it for what it is – an existential crisis requiring “moonshot thinking” and one that we in media, tech and entertainment are uniquely equipped to address.
