I am an independent researcher, writer, and founder whose work spans cultural study, media, venture development, and civic engagement. My background includes building and leading creative and strategic ventures, producing long-form media, and contributing to community-based initiatives focused on leadership, accountability, and public life.
Since 2017, I’ve worked at the intersection of storytelling and strategy, helping organizations and individuals communicate with clarity and purpose. That work has ranged from media production and brand development to public-facing communications in complex environments. Over time, it has increasingly informed my interest in how institutions operate, how culture is preserved, and how ideas move from belief into practice.
While my professional path began in business and media, it has expanded into independent research and long-form inquiry. I’m particularly interested in questions of continuity: how communities maintain identity, how leadership shapes outcomes, and how societies balance tradition, innovation, and responsibility over time.
Public Life & Civic Engagement
Public Life & Civic Engagement
Alongside professional and research work, I’ve been involved in civic and community leadership initiatives focused on youth engagement, public awareness, and institutional accountability. This has included serving in leadership and advisory capacities within nonprofit and civic organizations, as well as contributing to coalition-based efforts aimed at education, prevention, and long-term community resilience.
My civic involvement is rooted in participation rather than performance. I believe public life is most effective when it is grounded in listening, collaboration, and practical problem-solving, informed by real experience and guided by a sense of responsibility to the communities we serve.
Values & Perspective
Values & Perspective
My work is shaped by curiosity, reflection, and a desire to understand the world as it is: shaped by history, culture, and human experience. I value creative freedom and exploration, but I also believe durable solutions require discipline, humility, and respect for the structures that hold communities together.
Faith plays a quiet but important role in my life, providing a moral compass and grounding my work in humility and purpose. Alongside faith, my perspective is informed by dialogue, lived experience, and sustained engagement with people across different backgrounds and viewpoints.
I don’t claim to have every answer. I believe in learning openly, thinking carefully, and contributing work that is thoughtful, honest, and human. Work that invites reflection rather than conformity, and understanding rather than certainty.
Beyond the Work
Beyond the Work
Beyond professional and public pursuits, I am a husband, and that role is central to who I am. Marriage has grounded my life in responsibility, patience, and perspective, shaping how I approach work, leadership, and service.
I value family, close relationships, and time spent in conversation and reflection. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, not only as a creative practice, but as a way of understanding people and preserving meaning across generations.
Mentoring and supporting others, particularly young people finding their footing, has become one of the most meaningful parts of my work. It’s a reminder that leadership is not only about building things, but about helping others grow.
