Professor // Author // Host // Actor //Content Creator
I'm an explorer of life who has worn, and continues to wear many hats. I am fascinated by human behavior & the formation and navigation of identities, new and emerging technologies, the power of interpersonal communication, the wonders of nature, immense architecture, Eastern philosophies, health & wellness, and video production. My end goal is to bring all of these different pieces of "me and my interests" together into one cohesive product that I can share with the world. #convergence
I am not motivated by money, material gain, or fame—but instead, what motivates me is putting in the self-work necessary to reach my own, unique, yet unrealized potential. I feel everyone has vast amounts of untapped potential and being to help them find it, cultivate it, and capitalize upon it is what truly drives me forward. This website will give you a pretty good Idea of who I am, even though I'm still learning, growing, and exploring each and everyday, staying optimistic about how the future will unfold. |

Hosting is my passion—be it on-camera or for a live event—it just energizes me! I have developed my craft by taking improv, hosting and acting classes and workshops as well as continually "putting myself out" there so seize experiential opportunities.
I have booked more and more work over the years, mostly commercials and product spokesperson campaigns, which are a lot of fun! In 2020, I signed on with a manager and an agent, and have continue to pursue this with vigor. |

Starting ANYTHING, taking the FIRST STEP, is incredibly challenging and brave. As much as we'd all love to jump right into our content creation, our artistry, our craft—it is important to delve into a predevelopment process. I want to share what I have learned as well as a few developmental processes I have personally used as a freelance, independent content creator and consultant.
This 6-part video series is focused on the development of skills and tools that will allow you to harness your ability to ideate, assess, strategize, and implement processes that will help to bring your ideas to life. Ideate & emanate! |

When we delve into something unfamiliar, most of us give up before we even get started! Remember that everyone has a starting point for everything they do. We all have a first try, a first day, a first month, but sustained commitment is what makes the difference. Keep trying, keep exploring, keep searching for that which brings you a sense of joy, purpose, peace, and tranquility. You will find it, so abandon all timelines and simply get started!

I love hosting. It makes me feel alive. It challenges me to think on my feet! It allows me to connect with people and make them feel completely comfortable in front of a crowded room or on camera. For me, this makes the moment even more special, when you can help someone push through their own insecurities and anxiety—because I know full well how that feels!
I think it is helpful to always be prepared and to be passionately tied to whatever you are communicating. Preparation need not always be something that is written down, but, instead, can be something that tumbles through your mind and subject to continual refinement until that golden moment comes and you can pull it out of your "magic hat" and feel completely secure with what you will say and how you will say it. |
