I live in St. Louis with my wife and our young son and daughter. My 25-year career has been a mix of agency content and brand strategy work, publishing, media, and nonprofit comms and marketing. I’ve kept a website like this for a 15 years or so, mainly as a public notebook of cultural items that have interested me.
I'm currently a Senior Director of Content Strategy for [The Stoke Group](http://thestokegroup.com). Our fully remote digital marketing and content agency, which has a core team in Utah’s Silicon Slopes, crafts smart, good-looking content for global brands including Adobe, Zuora, VMWare, Momentive, and Pearson.
Prior roles include Vice President of Communications & Marketing for [Forest Park Forever](https://forestparkforever.org), Senior Strategist & Content Director for [TOKY](httsp://toky.com), and Editor-in-Chief of [St. Louis Magazine](https://stlmag.com).
I’m a graduate of Marquette University (BA in English), Northwestern University (MA in Liberal Studies) and the nine-month Leadership St. Louis program (2018-19) within FOCUS St. Louis.
In addition to decades of non-bylined communications work for organizations and companies, I’ve edited four books and published hundreds of profiles, essays, interviews, and reviews.
