Having managed several excellent firms over the years, I’ve been blessed to work with hundreds of young colleagues. It’s gratifying to see many of them now occupying senior positions at major corporations, agencies, nonprofits and universities.  I love when I hear from someone that I had some small impact on their path to success.

I’ve been lucky to pursue my passion for travel over the years by visiting almost 60 countries (so far).  The downside is I’ve twice found myself in the middle of a revolution (or almost-revolution).

She’d say she’s proud to have raised a southern gentleman.

I believe much of my early success as a communications practitioner was based on my writing skills: clear and concise writing has always been essential in our business. And having managed many crisis situations, I believe I’m good under pressure and able to look at complex issues and devise simple, actionable plans.

Snow crab legs – nothing else comes close.

My perfect client is one who understands that he/she brings unique knowledge and skills to the table and so do I. And that working together we can be better than either one of us could have been alone.  Listening and learning from each other and driving toward the desired outcome is so rewarding.  I’m fortunate to be friends with many clients years after working together because we were able to form that respectful, collaborative partnership.

Traveling; reading history and biographies; golf; listening to Taylor Swift with my two daughters; and watching my hometown school’s sports teams.

When a team I’m a part of is firing on all cylinders, working well together and making magic happen.

The guy that played Wags in “Billions” – I’m told we look alike.
