I am passionate about TEDxNashville, working with TEDx speakers, spreading great ideas, fostering learning, inspiration and wonder, as well as sparking and contributing to meaningful conversations. In addition, I am passionate about the conservation of green spaces and natural resources, gay rights, community building, hot yoga, uplifting others, and living life with a burning curiosity, as well as an open heart and mind.

When I'm working: Branding, Naming, Strategy & Positioning. When I'm not working family time, movies, wine, Sunday New York Times, reading the odd book here and there, Paddleboarding, Snowboarding, English football, lots of music (mostly alternative), dabbling with vinyl records. I've ranked my top 50 albums of all time and my top 50 concerts. Ask me about that sometime.

learning, challenging myself, having new experiences, and exploring different ideas. I am also passionate about coffee, travelling, science, food, and MMA.
