I’ve always played in sports. I know that if you’re on the bench and you get 30 seconds to play before the game is over you make that the best 30 seconds of your playing career. Getting 10 minutes to talk on stage I made that the best presentation I could. Ever since I’ve been invited to speak, lead ice breakers and lead a breakout session.

Twice a year I speak with emerging Educators in their class about branding, how design creates lasting impact and what it means to brainstorm effectively. I love talking about brand loyalty and how marketing creates opportunity for connection.

I taught Graphic Design for three years at Greenville University. I learned pretty early on that I love to capture a room and inspire others to think more critically, effectively and utilize each other’s perspectives for something bigger than ourselves.
