I've spent seventeen years figuring out what makes people connect, truly connect through social media. I co-founded a fitness YouTube channel that took a personal trainer from teaching two night classes a week to Nike partnerships and pro athletes from four major leagues, then signing with BeachBody and outselling P90x. I ran creative at Flite Test and rebuilt it from the programming level up. Revenue tripled in a year, viewership per video grew 10x. I've accumulated 200M+ views and 2,500 years of watch time across platforms and built my own audience of 826,000 with top 1% engagement. The through-line: understand what the audience is there for, build programming that earns their views, create systems that scale without losing the creative edge. I'm a full-cycle social media operator — channel strategy, scripting, directing, editing, thumbnail, workflow, team management. I've launched channels from zero and moonshot channels from plateaus. Beyond video strategy, I'm a public speaker on social media strategy and disability advocacy and accessibility. I'm also a published novelist.

This unique alchemy fuels genre-bending creative work—from screenplays that land on The Red List to the upcoming debut novel Scrapped Hope. These are action-adventure narratives built around complex heroes, wielding the visceral pace and undeniable hooks of viral storytelling to explore resilience and dismantle outdated systems. It’s fiction that tells the truth.
