Storyteller by nature, writer by trade, everything else by happy accident.

I believe that people are generally good and that their stories are, too. I fancy myself a dude who knows a little about a lot, and can figure the rest out by asking questions. I like to be part of the stories, which I realize might not be for you, but hey, it’s for me. My favorite stories make us change our minds.

Personality test stuff: I’m a nine on the enneagram (which is this really cool cult that my wife got me into). Strengths-finder says that I have the following traits in this order: Empathy. Adaptability. Harmony. Communication. Developer.

Stuff I can do besides writing:

Past Experiences include:

MS in Journalism at Boston University (2020 – 2021)
Drank from a firehouse while honing writing, photography, videography, and editing skills. Produced various written and multimedia pieces, mostly surrounding life during the pandemic.

Business Development at Tocci Building Corporation (2015 – 2020)
I networked, built relationships, threw parties, made friends, made sales calls and gave pitch presentations, spoke at conferences all around the United States and Canada, and flew a drone.

Admissions Counselor at Calvin College (2011 – 2015)
Recruited high school students to attend a liberal arts college in Michigan. As Chicago Area Regional Rep., I managed the schools recruiting efforts in the entire Chicagoland area. This included hosting events, public speaking, attending college fairs, and more.
