Summary
My career — 15 years in the communications field — is built on great stories and sharing them with the world. Often on tight deadlines, I create publications, write strong content, craft brand narratives for video and other platforms and edit like a boss.

Tiny Homes becomes a pathway to end homelessness
I pitched the Post on Veteran's Community Project here in KCMO and the great work they're doing. My pitch led to a digital presentation on tiny homes across the country. When published, this story was the top story on the Post home page, which gets pageviews upwards of 75 million.
The Bloch Magazine, 2020 edition
The Bloch Magazine, from the Henry W. Bloch School of Management, is a yearly magazine toward anyone with a relationship with the Bloch School. As editor, I drove the magazine process, managed managed six writers and the art director. I also wrote the cover feature, "Regarding Henry."
The Definitive Guide to Stress Relief
For Healium, a great healthtech startup using AR and VR to treat stress and anxiety, I researched and ghostwrote this guide. I created a pillar page that linked to 6-8 blog posts that I also wrote.

What I read
This year, aiming to read just one book: Don Quixote. It's...not going well. Let's just say it's been a Quixotic notion.
Side projects
Was part of the Taproot Foundation, which partners nonprofits with pro bono consultants. Lately, I've been involved with KC Scholars, which grants scholarships to wonderful students here in the K.C. region.
Ideal team
I look for two qualities: clarity and collaboration. A team with clear expectations and processes and a team that works together is my jam. At that point, doesn't matter what size and which client. You can get a lot done!
