I turn big ideas into stories people care about
and build the structure to make them happen.

03 / BEHIND THE WORK
Three projects that show how I approach creative leadership, from originating ideas and building systems to solving complex storytelling challenges.
WISDOM WEDNESDAY
ORIGINATING AN IDEA THAT BECAME AN INSTITUTION
How a multicampus creative challenge became RTS's longest-running recurring series, with 300+ episodes produced.
RTS GLOBAL
BUILDING CREATIVE CAPABILITY THAT SCALES
How an audio-first course model became a sustainable in-house video operation built to grow beyond one person.
RTS ATLANTA
MAKING THE COMPLEX COMPELLING
How an ambitious fundraising vision became a clear, story-led film that helped donors understand the opportunity and why it mattered.
04 / ABOUT
For more than two decades, I’ve made a career out of figuring out how to tell a story well. Sometimes that means finding the idea. Sometimes it means leading the people and process behind it. And sometimes it means picking up a camera and making the thing.
Over the years, that work has grown from filmmaking into creative direction, content strategy, and building the systems that help strong ideas become finished work. I’ve worked with senior leaders, creative teams, organizations, and clients, but the part I still love most is the same: finding the story that makes someone care.
I believe creative leaders should stay close enough to the work to understand what makes it good. I still do.
