What are you most proud of in your career?

I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been able to build an unusually well-rounded career for a PR practitioner, having worked as a real-time financial news reporter, as a communications executive at one of the world’s largest institutional investors, and as a leader on the agency side advising a diverse roster of clients.

Name one thing most people don’t know about you.


I was once mugged at gunpoint by four children.

How would your mother describe you?

“He’s a good son. While I have you, can you take a look at my phone? I can’t get the Wi-Fi to connect. I think it’s defective. I took it to Verizon and they fixed it but now it’s not working again. I think it must be defective. Here, just take it, I don’t know.”

What is your favorite food?

I am a committed evangelist for the Hershey’s Sundae Pie at Burger King.

Describe your perfect client.


One who believes in maintaining an open mind and an open dialogue. The best outcomes tend to flourish under those conditions.

What three hobbies or activities do you enjoy most?

We have two young children, so right now my non-work activities consist mainly of changing diapers and repeating the phrase “Alexa, play Let it Go by Idina Menzel on Spotify” over and over again.

Who would play you in the movie version of your life?

Alan Cumming.
