I want you to...

CONFIDENT,
EMPOWERED, AND FIERCE.

I want you to...

As someone who spent decades on TV,
I know what it takes and I want you to be:

STAND OUT AND BE REMEMBERED

I believe that being prepared is the key to everything.

Public speaking can be one of the most nerve-racking experiences, but if you prepare correctly, you can feel confident and you CAN succeed.

 

I believe that what separates a good leader from a great leader is their communication style.

I also strongly believe in the power of marketing and branding. 

 

I believe that how you choose to put yourself out to the world, whether it be in person or online, reflects in everything you do.

Social media has changed the world and there are so many opportunities for people and companies to utilize it and make their mark on the world, if it is done right.

 

And I believe that authenticity in your communication and branding will always shine through! 

I love to golf! But don't ask my handicap, I shamefully haven't recorded enough scores yet to get one.  (I know, I know...)

 

Photography is a deep passion; I can get lost exploring the world with my camera in hand.

 

I climbed the Grand Canyon down and back in a day and climbed Mount Sinai in Egypt.

I love my dog Levi more than you can imagine!  (Just look at his face!)

 

I am a go-getter and very excited to get to know you and work together!

My Philosophy

Saved the best for last!

A Quick Story...

While I don't actually know how to juggle, I have been trained to juggle quite well. 

 

The news business will do that to you!  In a single day, you juggle new and breaking information of all kinds, and sometimes many different stories.  You juggle multiple deadlines, corresponding with sources, trying to reach people impacted by the story you are covering, all while simultaneously presenting the information on live television.  In my mind, the main components of that job are accuracy, timeliness, working under pressure and trust. All very important skills to have in any job. 

 

In the near 20 years,  I was awarded two Emmy Awards for my work. I made it to the highest level of national news anchor, I covered sports, and I was a part of moments that will go down in history, some already have.  I was at the helm, anchoring and reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic, Elections, and the War in Ukraine.  I was on the ground in the aftermath of the horrific and tragic Las Vegas shooting and during various hurricanes. I covered the 2019 and 2022 World Series, and the ups and downs of the post-pandemic economy.  I interviewed professional athletes, politicians, war heroes, economists, and business owners.  I even went skydiving with the Army Golden Knights for an assignment.  All these moments are vastly different, but one thing is the same: the ability to tell the story. And tell it well. 

For a long time, I LOVED what I did! 

 

Until suddenly I didn't. 

The negative stories outweigh the positive stories in many cases.  And I decided that's not who I am or how I want to use my voice. 

So, I went back to school and got an MBA, took the (crazy) yet pretty awesome leap into the entrepreneurial world and started a business!  

Now, I want to share my knowledge and experience with you and help on your own journey.
