As a kid, I learned to read a room before I knew that's what I was doing. My family was hilarious, chaotic, and a lot to handle. You figured things out as you went along. Or you didn’t.

Ultimately, that turned out to be useful.

I started my career at Manhattan Theatre Club, moved to MTV Networks in the nineties, and spent the next two decades as a copywriter and creative director. I've written everything from global advertising campaigns and executive presentations to song lyrics and a Modern Love essay for The New York Times.

Professionally, I’ve spent decades listening to people, uncovering the actual tension hidden within the stated problem, and understanding the difference between what people do, what they say, and how they decide. I’ve shaped narratives, presented ideas, managed teams, mentored people, and learned how to ask the question that changes the conversation.

I've also loved people through impossible circumstances and held everything together when falling apart didn't feel like an option. I followed all the rules straight into a breakdown. And I learned, later than I would have liked, that some of the “truths” I had built my life around were actually stories I had inherited.

Today, I write, speak, and work as a thought partner for people who find themselves facing decisions without obvious answers. Together, we examine the stories they've accepted as fact, challenge whether they're actually true, and discover what becomes possible when they consciously choose what to do next.

If you've ever looked at your life and wondered, Surely, this can’t be it?

You’re in the right place.
