Nutshell: Gentle midwestern crop, audiophile, dad to one small person and one large dog.
Long-form: I started my career as a copywriter at Hayneedle, writing customer-focused content by day and juggling two nonprofit roles and a theatre career by night. Those years taught me the value of resourcefulness, storytelling, and mission-driven work.
In Chicago, I joined Simple Machines Marketing, where I transformed creative ideas into strategic campaigns that delivered measurable impact for B2B clients. During that time, I also became a resident artist with The New Coordinates—a devised theater company that taught me to collaborate and build stories that have something to say.
Today, I bring that same energy to my work as Senior Manager of Brand & Content at RadarFirst, a regulatory SaaS company in Portland, OR. I lead brand storytelling, content strategy, and campaign execution—helping shape a voice that resonates in a complex, rapidly changing landscape.
I’m driven by curiosity, grounded in empathy, and motivated by being on a winning team. My creative path has never been linear—but it’s always been purposeful.
