We are dependent, for understanding, and for consolation and hope, upon what we learn of ourselves from songs and stories

Wendell Berry

.

I believe in the power of words, images and stories to connect people and make change.

Consulting

I help nonprofits join communications and fundraising together, so their good works last.

Writing

Focusing on travel, philanthropy and active lifestyles, I write to understand the world.


Let's work together.
