Angela Lansbury once called me charming.

I’ve also been called “the best comms guy our team has ever worked with” (Marriott), “one of those rare gems who makes it his mission to ‘get it’” (National Park Foundation), and “a pleasure to have in class” (various).

I am an award-winning communications and brand strategist with 15+ years of experience helping global brands stay culturally relevant, emotionally resonant, reputationally sound, and impact-driven. I’ve led earned-first strategies, brand platforms, and integrated campaigns across tech, lifestyle, hospitality, entertainment, fashion, and purpose-driven sectors – whether repositioning Grindr as a Gen Z lifestyle brand, expanding Marriott’s LoveTravels platform globally, guiding Target through a period of significant transformation, or helping Nike tell its Purpose story across equity, sustainability, and innovation.

I've been trusted by brands like Marriott, Nike, National Park Foundation, Grindr, YITTY, Target, Levi Strauss & Co., and TED to bring a level-headed approach to high-stakes work – from executive visibility, DEI/ESG storytelling, and corporate messaging to brand repositioning, stakeholder engagement, and consumer PR. I bring calm under pressure and a sharp sense of timing that helps campaigns break through and brand stories land with impact.
