A bit about me …

I’m a strategic advisor. I write fun things. I make cool things happen.

For the last 15 years, I’ve helped technology companies of all shapes and sizes craft their comms strategies, brand identities and stories, while sharing these things with the world. Over the course of my career I’ve worked in analytics tools, autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, databases, developer tools, drones, HR software, quantum computing, shipping technology and more.

I like finding the essential nature of complex technologies – why they matter, what they help people do – and developing that into stories that matter. I’ve helped develop and execute brand, content marketing and media strategies for companies like Eero (acquired by Amazon), LinkedIn, Google, SuccessFactors (acquired by SAP), Flexport, MicroStrategy, D-Wave Systems, Teal Drones, Local Motors and its parent company LM Industries, Codenvy (acquired by Red Hat) and many more.

I’m currently enjoying life as a communications consultant, but have worked as a vice president at both LaunchSquad and The Bulleit Group, and helped start LaunchSquad’s sister content agency Original9 Media. I was also a journalist in Seattle and the Bay Area at the start of my career.
