I'm a project management and creative operations expert with 16+ years of experience working in many industries, with various team sizes & structures. As a consultant, I specialize in social media production operations for sports, entertainment, and hospitality brands. I help creators, content teams, and growing organizations build and optimize their production workflows. I work with clients on a consulting basis building and optimizing workflow systems. I'm open to consulting conversations with startups & emerging companies, content creators, and production agencies. Outside of operations and production, I also have a strong writing and creative background with two published books, hundreds of articles, and I run a sports social media platform.

Most clients come to me when they feel stuck. - Their socials aren't growing - They don't know what / who their brand is - They can't connect with audiences that actually support them (through purchase, purpose or engagement) My role is to create a bespoke solution because as much as agencies and some marketing professionals would like you to believe - nothing is one size fits all. I'm a jack of many trades: Branding, Content Production, Social Strategy, Camera Coaching, Creator Partnerships, Funnel Building & Content Monetization. Anything I haven't developed a rich experience in is supported by a hand-picked team of extraordinary collaborators I have in Los Angeles. For 10+ years, I've helped struggling thought-leaders, actors, brand founders and content creators adjust course and achieve excellence. I should be clear that I'm guided by some very fundamental ideals that don't resonate with everyone: 1) I believe in conviction. You must polarize with your brand / platform. A point of view is required. I don't mean rage-bait. I don't mean talk politics. I mean be so clearly what you are (as a brand or founder) that people say "Heck yes this is for me." OR "Hell no, this isn't for me." Neutrality is where dreams go to die. 2) You can't survive on an island. Partnerships and relationships are essential. In 2026, the isolationist mentality will not keep your start-up, content career or speaking tour alive. You have to build community. 3) Steady growth. If your focus is on virality or blowing up overnight, we're not a match. Not because I don't enjoy virality (many of my clients have gone viral multiple times - we love it!), but because I always put intention and long-term vision first. We make such great and strategic decisions that virality becomes a sign of the working system. And when we go viral, it's hitting an intentional audience that will actually support the mission. If those values feel aligned. Here's what I help with: • Clarifying brand positioning and messaging • Fixing stalled social growth • Building influencer and ambassador programs • Partnership and sponsorship strategy • Talent positioning and brand alignment • Content direction and ecosystem strategy • Affiliate and creator programs • Growth strategy for DTC and creator-led brands Recent Results: • 2x–6x audience and engagement growth across brands • 400K+ authentic followers generated • 20M+ organic video views • Ambassador programs scaled into the hundreds • Six-figure affiliate programs built from scratch • Hundreds of influencer deals negotiated Message me if you have questions. I'd love to join you on your journey and achieve excellence together.
