Who I Am
I’m a word nerd and a story detective.
As a writer, producer, creative director and story coach, my work has appeared at the Sundance Film Festival, appeared multiple times on This American Life, and hailed "a cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek.
I grew a grassroots stage show, Mortified, into a global media brand known for podcasts, TV projects, books, radio, games and live events performed in 6 languages.
I have experience in live events, documentary, talk shows, history, true crime, comedy, even educational kids shows.
In my spare time, I’m an enthusiastic but terrible piano player.
As a writer, producer, creative director:
I develop and craft treatments, proposals, press releases, podcast scripts, ad copy and brand identity.
As a story coach:
I help people harness the power of story through one-on-one sessions and workshops.
As a facilitator:
With “narrative breathwork,” I help people release stress and illuminate ideas.
