As a first generation college student, I finished my degree while working a full-time retail management job and am not afraid of hard work. I have seen firsthand the power of education to transform lives and have worked as an educator, trainer, and leader in a variety of contexts. I enjoy leading and managing people through building relationships, active listening, and creative problem solving. The mission of an organization is important to me.I am a creative and bring a unique perspective to everything I do. I’m the guy you want in your brainstorming sessions, your think tanks, and your vision casting and execution meetings.I’ve had a variety of careers in business, education, and the creative arts and entertainment industry. I’m currently transitioning more back to a permanent role in writing for film, producing, directing, editing, and podcasting. I also do social media and marketing and have a natural sense for how to sell the essence of a thing.
