“I work with organizations and individuals who believe that how we work matters as much as what we produce. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, systems, and human experience, helping people build organizations that are effective, ethical, and built to last.”
PHILOSOPHY
I believe strategy only matters if people can succeed inside it. My work begins with understanding how individuals, teams, and organizations actually function, not how they are expected to function on paper. Across nonprofit, higher education, and commercial environments, I focus on designing systems that align purpose, capability, and human behavior in ways that support real work.
I am drawn to complex organizations where multiple priorities compete for attention. Growth and sustainability, innovation and stability, creativity and accountability all have to coexist. I work by looking for patterns, asking better questions, and helping leaders make sense of ambiguity. Often my role is to connect ideas, people, and structures so that decisions are grounded in shared values and carried forward with clarity.
Across every context, my goal is the same: to help people do their best work over time. That requires trust, respect for individual strengths, and environments where learning and adaptation are possible. I am less interested in short term outcomes than in durable progress, the kind that strengthens both the organization and the people within it.
DOMAINS OF WORK
Strategy and Organizational Design
I work with leaders to clarify direction, align priorities, and design operating models that support both performance and people. This includes strategy development, governance, and decision making in environments where complexity, growth, and change are constant.
SELECTED WORK & IMPACT
Systems Leadership and Managed Services
I have built and led teams responsible for sustaining and evolving mission critical systems over time. My focus is on long term value, trust, and accountability, ensuring that technology serves the organization rather than driving it.
Built and led a multi million dollar managed services practice, responsible for long term client relationships, team development, and sustainable growth across complex organizations.
Designed and implemented operating models that align strategy, governance, and day to day execution, helping organizations move from intention to consistent practice.
Advised executive leaders and boards on organizational change, technology strategy, and decision making in environments shaped by competing priorities and limited resources.
Led cross functional teams responsible for sustaining and evolving mission critical systems, balancing reliability, adaptability, and human experience over time.
Worked with arts and cultural organizations to strengthen audience engagement, fundraising strategy, and institutional capacity without compromising artistic integrity.
Taught and mentored professionals, artists, and students, focusing on judgment, craft, and long term development rather than short term performance.
Developed creative work in photography and music that explores attention, structure, and interpretation, informing both leadership practice and systems thinking.
Teaching, Mentorship, and Coaching
Teaching has shaped how I lead. Across professional, creative, and educational settings, I work with individuals and teams to develop capability, confidence, and judgment, connecting experience with intentional growth.
My work has taken shape across leadership, technology, creative practice, and teaching. While the settings have varied, the throughline has remained consistent: helping people and organizations do meaningful work with clarity, care, and intention.
Over the years, I have worked across nonprofit, higher education, and commercial environments. While these sectors differ in structure and funding, the fundamentals of good work do not change. Every organization must earn trust, align people around shared purpose, and make thoughtful decisions about how it operates and grows.
Today, my work continues to evolve across multiple forms. I lead and advise teams, write and speak about engagement and organizational change, make photographs as a way of observing and understanding the world, and teach music with an emphasis on craft, discipline, and human expression. Each practice informs the others, creating continuity rather than separation.
This site reflects that ongoing conversation between work, curiosity, and craft. It is not a record of everything I have done, but a reflection of how I continue to think, learn, and contribute.

Creative Practice: Photography and Music
My creative work informs how I see systems, time, and attention. Through photography and music, I explore observation, craft, and interpretation, and those practices continue to influence how I approach leadership and organizational work.
