About

I'm a Philadelphia-based storyteller, strategist, and connector.

I've spent my career working at the intersection of storytelling, culture, and community. Sometimes that means helping a city communicate with its residents. Sometimes it means producing a film, working with a brand, or sitting across from someone whose story deserves to be heard.

What connects all of it is my belief that a good story can change how people see the world, each other, and themselves.

I currently serve as Digital Director for the City of Philadelphia, where I help shape how the City and its leadership communicate across digital platforms. Through Marcell Creative, I bring that same approach to film, photography, and creative production.

I've learned that the best work doesn't begin with a camera or a content calendar. It begins with curiosity. Understanding the people, the purpose, and what we're really trying to communicate.

Outside of work, I'm a dad first. That role influences everything from how I lead to how I see the world.

I'm still learning. Still creating. Still becoming. And hopefully leaving things a little better than I found them.
