About Writer

I see the world differently from everyone else, always have. From an early age, I’ve been obsessed with figuring out why people do the things they do, go to the places they go to, and buy the stuff they buy.

Throughout my life this has manifested itself in a number of ways. First, it was an obsession with MTV, VH1, and ESPN. That passion for culture, visuals, and the incredible things humans can do when they put their minds to it led me, as if by destiny, to the internet. I like to joke that I logged on back in 1995 (thanks to my middle school’s dial-up connection) and haven’t logged off since.

What does this mean? This means I’m an early adopter, it means I am a digital native, it means I’m a social media expert and many other terms that are nearly meaningless outside of certain niches.

I’ve worked in Film/TV, Music, and other forms of media, but it always comes back to one seemingly simple question: What’s happening in the online spaces where people meet?​

I get the internet. I love the internet. I don’t know how else to explain it. One of my favorite things to do is taking complex online situations or trending topics and breaking them down without getting too nerdy (unless you want me to – in which case…)

Either way, I’d love the opportunity to show you what I can do.
