My craft was built in the field — in disaster zones, aboard ships, and in the quiet aftermath where the real stories live. For more than twenty years, I've turned hard, high-stakes moments into stories people understand and act on.

Today I'm Head of Content Production and Social Media at Team Rubicon, the veteran-led disaster response organization. I own the editorial vision and run the day-to-day: leading a lean content and social team, setting strategy across every platform, and still writing, shooting, and editing the work that matters most. In my first year owning social, our content earned more than 230 million impressions across platforms. But the number I care about most is the one that turns a scroll into action: a click, a sign-up, a volunteer showing up for a community in need. Those actions more than doubled.

I joined Team Rubicon in 2012 as a contract photojournalist documenting disaster relief, and over the next decade grew into the role I hold now. Along the way, I served as associate producer on the Daytime Emmy-nominated Roku Original docuseries Team Rubicon, built the digital asset systems that keep a media library widely accessible, and produced content for major fundraising and partner productions. I still shoot, edit, and direct, because the work is more honest when you've done every job in it.

Before Team Rubicon, I served as a Combat Cameraman and Mass Communication Specialist in the U.S. Navy, deploying worldwide to document conflict, disaster, and humanitarian operations, from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to relief efforts in Haiti. That work taught me how to find clarity in chaos, and how much a single honest image can carry.

This work is personal. As a veteran and a Clay Hunt Fellow, I know what it takes to rebuild a sense of purpose after the uniform comes off, and I bring that to every story I tell about resilience, service, and the people behind it.

Whatever the format — video, social, long-form, a full campaign — the goal stays the same: tell the truth well, and move people to act.
