I live for a good conversation.

The kind that cuts through the noise, bridges the gaps, turns skeptics into superfans, and changes the shape of things.

I’ve built my career crafting those kinds of conversations from the inside out for brands that are breaking new ground, from Fortune 50 companies to fast-growth startups. It’s my chosen art and science, and I practice it from every angle.

My expertise and enthusiasm intersect in developing verbal identities that open up worlds of possibility, writing sharp copy and stories that sing, and leading creative teams to bold originality with stellar results.

I’m a systems thinker who translates complex innovation into illuminating cohesion, a language chameleon fluent in culture and comedy, PR and pop culture, metaphor and meme, and a rallying engine who goes all in. I grew up crossing the bridges of the Bay Area and have been connecting the dots ever since.

I currently head up Ecstatic Voice, a communication studio and voice lab in LA. Outside of EV, I train MBA and data science teams to amplify AI at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management and write The Ecstatic Review on Substack.

If you have a vision that's too big to talk about, let’s talk.
