I’m a creative director, writer, editor in chief, copywriter, marketer, events marketer, Moth-addicted oral storyteller, essayist, podcast addict, and memoirist-in-progress (like, forever in-progress). I make connections with people — customers, listeners, readers, clients, partners, thinkers, dreamers, and anyone else you'd like to speak to — using truth, authenticity, and hopefully a little charm. Also deep in the learning trenches on understanding the power of generative AI, how it makes humans better, and how to convey that simply and quickly. Without making people feel like the end of the world is coming. A few things I love: porch swings, baked goods, college basketball (Go Big Blue! And no, that's not Michigan), Oxford commas, pretending I can surf (I'm great at wiping out), real books you can hold in your hands, France, and traveling anywhere and everywhere — especially places I've never been. I don't like piña coladas (does anyone?), but I really do like long walks on the beach, preferably with my dog. Always up for meeting new people to talk about interesting opportunities over coffee, croissants, or a glass of wine — perhaps all at once. Why not.
