I’m a seasoned, Baltimore-based Social and Digital Media professional that only uses his kung fu powers for good. Though my MFA is in film, I’ve been working exclusively in the digital and social comms/strategy and marketing space, mostly for causes and campaigns, for over a decade. 

Over the years I’ve worked with and for a number of mostly non-profit entities to develop their social identities and messaging, as well as to create and execute campaigns, train staff, and score wins. I’ve also worked on several electoral campaigns, mostly in New York.

Most recently, I was Social and Digital Media Manager for the Office of Maryland Attorney General, where I helped build out a comprehensive overhaul of all public-facing digital and social comms with an emphasis on social-scaled storytelling and narrative.

Before that I helped what was then called The Dream Corps (now Dream.org) where I led social media strategy for a multi-vertical non-profit focused on green energy adoption/ green jobs, criminal justice reform, and increasing minority equity in the tech industry.

I helped launch a new initiative of the National Guestworker Alliance called Resilience Force to identify, organize, and tell the stories of “resilience workers,” the mostly Latinx, mostly undocumented workers who help rebuild and recover after natural disasters in the US.

I was the Chief Digital Strategist at Excel Sports Management via Abrams Research, a full service digital marketing agency, where I I developed and deployed social media strategies and campaigns for clients such as the Tiger Woods Foundation, ASPCA, the Mariano Rivera Foundation and sports figures like Derek Jeter, Paul Pierce, Emmitt Smith, Tiger Woods, Blake Griffin and Jason Kidd.

I was Director of New Media Comms at the New York State Senate for two years where I helped develop what has been called the “world’s best legislative website” among other things. 

I helped launch the Corporate Action Network this year as a content and campaign strategy consultant where I got to do all kinds of cool stuff like help organize the “Black Friday” strikes at over 1,000 Wal-marts across the country.

I was a Senior Strategic Consultant at Advomatic where I worked with a number of commercial clients to develop comprehensive strategic online and social media plans and initiatives.

I also was New Media Director for the New Roosevelt Initiative, a issue based advocacy org largely devoted to reforming the political process here in New York State. 

I’ve also done a lot of consulting over the past decade and been fortunate enough to work with awesome orgs like Occupy Our Homes, the Roosevelt Institute, the Tribeca Film Festival and great projects like the Sandy Storyline. Recently, I developed a social and grassroots media outreach campaign for a fabulous documentary film called the Lost Bird Project.

I also spent a number of years writing about and organizing around good governance issues in our state government after I co-founded the Albany Project in 2006. The Albany Project was chosen by the Washington Post’s the Fix to be one of the best state blogs in America for three consecutive years.

One time they even put me in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

I share a home with a big, goofy rescue pittie named Olive in lovely Fedral Hill, Baltimore.. I cook. I garden. Sometimes I make fuzzy, scuzzy garage rock come out of an old Epiphone guitar.
