My background is in arts, entertainment, and features writing. Long-form narratives that dive deep into the value of community and inclusion are one of my favorite ways to represent any company’s culture.
From pairing Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson with 'Lil BUB to make sick kids smile, to breakdancing badly, to hosting Facebook Live in the interest of pet safety, creative video is very much a part of my utility belt.

As MyMusicRx Senior Manager for Children's Cancer Association, I led a yearly trip to SXSW. In addition to capturing performances and interviews with some of the best bands in the world, we staged a fundraiser concert headlined by the likes of Aloe Blacc, Les Claypool, Typhoon, and The Zombies. Eventually, we partnered with the festival to bring the SXSW experience to Dell Children's Hospital, where kids and teens who couldn't leave the hospital were made to feel like backstage VIPs.
Over the years, I've been lucky enough to interview many of my heroes, from David Cross to Bruce Campbell. I've also interviewed a number of corporate clients for compelling web content, but these clips will give you a far more entertaining sense of what I can do.
If you don't like food, life is going to be long and unpleasant. Even if you love food, there are no guarantees. Either way, I've embraced my inner foodie and reviewed some of Portland and Vancouver's tastiest cuisine.
