I turn complex, technically dense work into things people actually want to watch, read, and share — campaigns, video, copy, and the occasional thing I build myself.
I’ve spent nearly two decades making things for the internet — most recently as Brand & Content Lead at Reserve and Senior Copywriter for global social at OKX (3.4M followers). I write, direct, and produce campaigns end-to-end, and I build AI-assisted tools into how I work. Based in Waukee, Iowa, working remotely.
A feature documentary, campaign spots, and series — written, produced, and often performed end-to-end.
Original fiction, screenwriting, and published nonfiction — a writing practice spanning nearly two decades.
