Stories can vivify, and the engagement experiences we give people with them can make the world.
I’ve been honored to serve clients, including:
​
• Mayo Clinic
• Fairview Health System
• Target
• Best Buy
• Ameriprise Financial
• University of Minnesota
• Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
• Saint Paul Red Cross
• Minneapolis Area United Way
• National Endowment for the Arts
• Arts Midwest
• Minnesota Media Arts
• Kairos Alive!, and many others.
​
In addition to my communications work, I:
​
• Do relationship coaching and officiate at weddings at openheartopeneyes.com, with a forthcoming book based on my work with couples.
• Serve as an Associate Teaching Artist for the national award-winning Arts and Health social impact pioneer kairosalive.org.
• Founded and lead the engagement theater for emotional and social healing, Minnesota Folktale Gardening Club.
• Perform as a folk musician.
Our times call for empathy, facts, enthusiasm, cooperation and a weaving together of community, as together we make change toward the common good. A healing intention, and personal and community cohesion are paramount. It’s time to tell our stories. What we say and how we say it matters.

Thank you for your interest.
