I've spent a couple decades turning complicated ideas into stories and strategies that actually land — from science TV to launching global tech initiatives. I love building things that matter, with people who care.
A little about me
Science journalism → broadcast TV → educational publishing → video platforms → global tech programs. Every move has been about the same thing: helping people understand what matters and why.
Taking initiative. Building from zero. Making things financially viable. Managing across functions — marketing, ops, fundraising, IT — while staying editorially honest throughout.
"My contribution to Gig was excerpted in The New Yorker — not bad for a kid who just wanted to make things people actually read."
At IEEE's Future Directions unit, I launched the 5G/6G Innovation Testbed — the first financially successful product the unit had produced in 15 years — and built a humanitarian connectivity program that raised $380,000 from industry and foundations. Before that, I led IEEE.tv through a major pivot that more than tripled site traffic.
My earlier years were spent in the weeds of science TV, writing and producing stories that aired on ABC and NBC affiliates to millions of people weekly. I've also written for The New Yorker, the NYT Magazine, Harper's, and McSweeney's. I coach Little League softball on weekends and take pinball very seriously.
