About

I knew I had a love for language in high school when I looked forward to reading Shakespeare in the park by myself over the weekend.

I knew I had a knack for presentation skills in college when my marketing professor sought my advice on how to improve his own classroom presentation. And again, when within the first 6 weeks of my first job I got my first job our of college, landed our P.R. office the largest account they had had in 5 years. And shortly after, my boss’s boss sought my advice for his own presentations.

I knew I had a love for writing I was hired to be a speechwriter for Fortune 500 executives, professional keynote speakers, TV personalities, and a few politicians.

I knew I had a fascination for influential communication when I interviewed masterful influential people, like CIA field operatives, hostage negotiators, PSYOPS specialists, military intelligence officers, trial attorneys, and many other fascinating people whose job it is to deeply understand those they seek to persuade and then build a strategy (from simple to complex) to accomplish their goals.

I knew I had a distaste for “gurus” when I witnessed marketing-savvy advice-givers “sell the dream,” but under-deliver on real value.

I knew I was heartbroken when I’d meet ethical industry experts with substantial knowledge to share and value to provide, but who didn’t know how to get their message to match their expertise. I was tired of seeing “gurus” who had, essentially, nothing to say be the loudest, while true experts with everything to say struggled the most. And so, I became determined to help true experts elevate their influence in ways that align with their voice and values, so they can make a bigger impact for their industry.

When experts struggle to communicate something visionary, something complex, or even something – dare we say – that is boring on the surface, I can help find the angle and strategy that engages your audience and helps you level-up your business.

I’ll know I’ve led a successful career when I’ve helped as many experts as possible to elevate their influence and their industries.
