ABOUT ME

A former reporter and editor, I have built a successful career as a trusted advisor, public relations strategist and crisis communications expert on behalf of public, private and non-profit enterprises, working in-house and in agencies.
My work helps individuals and organizations communicate more effectively, engage with stakeholders, manage their reputation, and avoid or survive trouble.
With a lifetime of experience in media and writing and a quarter century in strategic public relations, I am in position to work quickly, economically and effectively on your behalf.
You can view my resume on LinkedIn.
HOW I CAN HELP

My current public relations work supports executive leaders, managers and thousands of operations staff members based in 20 states and Washington, D.C.
I am retained on behalf of private and non-profit companies to provide strategic counsel on key priorities and public affairs; orchestrate public events; develop community engagement initiatives; support new business presentations; and deliver pro-active and reactive media relations.
Multifamily and commercial real estate development are my specialty, but I also work on behalf of organizations and individuals in other fields.
BEND LIGHT

The raw materials of your organization’s reputation are like light on its way toward a prism. This light holds your values, your information, your people and your actions.
What your audiences see after the light passes through the prism depends entirely on what the prism is made of – the messaging, tactics and channels you use to help reflect or refract information for distinct stakeholders.
When the light exits that prism, you want it to be absorbed and understood. You want it to generate awareness, trust and action.
That takes experienced, thoughtful and effective communications strategy and expertise.
