I’m a designer, writer, and showrunner currently working at Fidelity Investments. There, I help Fidelity’s customers make confident financial decisions through digital experiences. I use clean layouts and direct language to create solutions built for humans.
You can learn more about my approach to design, color, and leading teams, read more about my professional experience below, or download my resumé.
Hosting & writing
I have created and hosted several podcasts.
- I write and voice short fiction at Two Minute Stories. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
- I host The Season, a show that dives deep into the stories, numbers, and significance behind history’s most transcendent seasons by individual athletes.
- I cohost Gametime, which discusses ESPN’s 2020 documentary series The Last Dance about the 1990s Chicago Bulls.
- I formerly hosted I Am Not My A Number at Fidelity Investments where I interview fellow designers about their creative ventures. This show is only available to Fidelity Associates.
- I formerly cohosted The Design Game, a show about the critical role of design in sports.
I’ve published two books on the Kindle platform that collect many of the tales from Two Minute Stories.
- Train to Nowhere collects the first 100 tales from the Two Minute Stories podcast
- Absolutely Nothing collects three miniseries stories from the Two Minute Stories podcast
Of interest
When I’m not helping Fidelity’s customers or hosting shows, I’m likely to be found on a golf course, a basketball court, or playing cribbage.
I’m also a proud alum of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
