I bridge technology, storytelling, and strategy to make complex missions human.
Sometimes I build the platforms that guide our future airspace. Other times I direct the films that make Congress believe in it. Always, I work to make the complex feel simple.
Whether you’re shaping policy, designing software, or telling a story that matters, I help find clarity in complexity.

What I Do
Three ways to solve problems that don't have easy answers.
Design
Clean, simple interfaces that work for everyone from mission directors to the public. Not about winning awards, but about winning over stakeholders and solving real problems.
Engineering

Production
Directing films that change minds in boardrooms and on Capitol Hill. Turning complex stories into clear narratives that move the right people to action.
