Personally, I study and write about how to shift culture, bridge divides, and make actionable the things that so many of us know but don’t know how to put into practice. Along the way, I help companies and individuals tell authentic stories.

As a diehard middle-of-the-roader (mainly because it offers the best views and because I don’t believe extremes serve anyone), I recognize that differences are varied perspectives. I understand and use proven methods to demonstrate that if we are willing to explore other views, engage with people different from us, and express ourselves from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, we can end the divisive “us and them” narratives that plague humanity. 

My stories and self-expression are humorous and meaningful. I also use the explore-engage-express triad in a storytelling format to teach others how to tell (and live) authentic life stories.

Tongue-in-cheek is one of the ways I express my inner monologues, many of which have been said to rival the familial wit of Erma Bombeck and David Sedaris, with the occasional crassness of Chelsea Handler sans the middle finger, and not as many f-bombs. 

My perspectives prompt my audiences to pause and see me as a refreshing voice that champions love over fear.

I do not see light and dark as rivals but recognize them as compatible forces; one can’t exist without the other. This awareness guides my work.
