Become the leader who walks into any room with presence, poise, and the power to influence by owning your unique signature story.
I empower leaders and candidates running for office to lead with clarity, inspire with authenticity, and influence with integrity.
​
Are you visionary, driven, and full of potential- but struggling to express your strongest assets with confidence? Does self-doubt creep in when you try to share your ideas in ways that truly connect? Do you believe deeply in your mission, yet feel stuck when it comes to communicating it in a way that builds trust and moves people?
​
My mission is to help rising leaders and candidates craft powerful personal narratives and build a presence that reflects the strength of their character and vision.
​
Leveraging my background as a filmmaker, professor, and someone who’s rebuilt his life after profound adversity, I help clients transform hidden potential into undeniable presence so they can lead movements, win hearts, and inspire lasting change.
RISE to where YOU BELONG.
​​​
I rewrote the story of who I was. I dug into my adversity and uncovered hidden assets. I nurtured the seeds of my potential. I discovered a version of my I was surprised by. I crafted my presence, reclaimed my voice, and stepped into the influence I was meant to carry. I rose up.
​
Now, I use the arsenal of my rise to help leaders and candidates do the same— to shape presence, ignite confidence, and leave a mark the world won’t forget. Because what inspires and moves people to action isn’t your credentials. It’s not your beliefs. It’s the story of what shaped you. That’s what I help you discover, harness, and sculpt so you rise above and stand apart.
​
With nearly two decades as a filmmaker and professor, I’ve taught people how to own their voice, communicate with clarity, and lead with heart.
Whether you’re trying to win an elected office, launching a bold idea, or stepping into a role that demands courage— I’ll help you lead with presence and purpose that can’t be ignored.
​
Let’s turn the embers of your mission into a blaze. Let's discuss where you want to rise to.
