Everyone and everything has a story. I want to tell the story of local farms, small businesses, food trucks, mom and pop restaurants and markets, and makers of awesome adult beverages.
I believe that building community and engaging citizens leads to stronger policy and better lives. I am especially interested in the intersection of public policy and communications on a local/state level - how can we make life better for everyone by engaging local communities?
After spending almost 20 years working at my dream jobs with NASA and in the space industry, I'm doing the thing I've said I've always wanted to do: start something of my own. I'm not giving up space entirely (ask me about how farming and space exploration fit together), but it's time to follow another passion.
If you need help telling your story - whether it's to create a brand, grow your business, or simply get better at communicating information to your customers - please drop me a line.
