I’m a twenty-year veteran of using digital & traditional media to improve positive impact while increasing revenue growth for businesses and organizations. I speak, write, blog, consult, and design for all kinds of media.

Through my work with clients, and as a presenter for many well-known Kansas City business support organizations as well as political advocacy work on behalf of small business owners and local economies, I get to meet with hundreds of business owners each year to better understand the obstacles they face. This steady exposure has allowed me to gain elusive insight into key components for success.

On a personal note, I am a certified mindfulness meditation teacher through a program offered by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, certified by the Awareness Institute and the Greater Good Science Center based out of the University of California, Berkeley. I teach with the Midwest Mindfulness Collective, as well as other community groups. I also offer monthly art journal lessons through Insight Art Journal as a way to integrate my love of using art materials with an exploration of universal truths for wisdom and compassion. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share the power of awareness and mindful artistic experiences with others.

Mostly, I use my mix of skills in marketing, art & design, business, branding, and communications to create and improve systems that pertain to local economics, social justice, inner peace, and a healthier environment. If those are areas of importance to you too, we’ll probably get along well.
