Biography

Journalism is the foundation of a professional life spent connecting people and their ideas, bringing attention to issues of public interest, and raising the profile of businesses and organizations. Whether as a reporter and editor, or communications counselor I've excelled at building relationships, targeting and reaching audiences, and elevating the message by knowing what makes a news story. From a major metro daily to weeklies and online media, I've covered city hall, the business beat and every other subject of interest to a community. Outside the newsroom I have advised businesses, nonprofits, and Canada's foreign service. I served as a military officer and was twice elected to the Dallas City Council. My 5 years on active duty as an Air Force officer developed my leadership skills, enabling me to nurture talented people who deliver solid results. That, and a marketing communications leadership role with worldwide responsibilities at a professional association for CEOs, provided years of exposure to markets and cultures beyond our borders. Coupled with my curiosity and adventuresome nature, these and other experiences help keep me mindful of the importance of diversity and inclusion in my work. My crazy-quilt career isn't traditional, but what's the fun in that?
