Strategic Capital Consulting

I lead high-stakes projects helping leaders, candidates, and firms elevate their influence, clarify their message, and convert strategic insight into measurable action.

My focus is on translating complex ideas into clear positioning, scaling visibility across platforms, and building systems that support sustained growth. Whether it's a municipal or state campaign, an elite legal practice, or an executive looking to own their space.

Principal Consultant

Haus of Content

A full-service production company and content fulfillment house creating content ecosystems for brands, campaigns, and consultants who need high-quality content, faster.

We’re not just another content agency—we’re building the future of automated influence delivery. From concept to campaign, we deliver media that moves, messages that convert, and systems that scale.

Co-Founder

I build influence systems — digital ecosystems developed to help you lead, inspire, and convert with clarity. With 25+ years in digital strategy, I’ve worked across branding, content marketing, and political media, delivering high-impact outcomes for clients in law, public service, tech, real estate, and executive leadership.

My edge? I design systems that work harder than I do — smart, scalable workflows powered by strategy-first thinking and the right dose of automation. Whether I'm building a thought leadership platform, orchestrating a campaign, or crafting a digital footprint, my goal is always the same: help clients show up with purpose and get results.

I incorporate advanced AI tools into my workflow — to amplify my strategy. From custom GPTs to automated content engines, I use AI to unlock capacity, creativity, and consistency for myself and my clients. This means faster execution, stronger messaging, and more time for what matters: leadership, relationships, and vision.

Let’s build something that moves people and moves the needle.

Running a small business often means wearing a lot of hats.

When I worked for a small lakeside motel & cottages resort, I was maintenance, housekeeping, front desk, management, and more. The job meant switching hats constantly throughout the day.

That can be fun and also draining.

I found myself in the hospitality sector via waiting tables while I was doing my graduate degree in religion.

From restaurants, I moved into the hotel space by way of my in-law's lakeside resort in the remote Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

Fun fact: that area, Hamilton County, NY—only 4.5 hours north of NYC—has the least people per square mile of any county in the eastern U.S.

Infrastructure and staff were in short supply, but challenges were plentiful.

I'm on a mission to help independent hoteliers face those challenges.

I'm starting by gathering those stories in a podcast I'm calling Hotelier's Hatrack.

It's a place to take off the hats and take a rest.
