BOUNCE is how I understand the rhythm of curiosity, play and resilience that exists in all of us. Bounce is a buzzy energy of possibility and surprise felt in collaboration or exploration. Bounce celebrates failure as an opportunity to bounce forward with new information. Everybody bounces. In all that I do, I create the conditions for people of all ages to connect to their BOUNCE.

For the last twelve years, I’ve been making media for kids and families. I host tv shows, create podcasts, write music, produce and direct. I’m also a conference host, event speaker and workshop facilitator.

I’ve worked as a stage actor, preschool teacher, Radio Disney event dj, silt-walker, and I almost became a traffic reporter in Chicago (it’s a good story). I have a theatre degree from Northwestern University and have trained in improv and physical theatre (iO, Second City, 500 Clown, Magnet Theatre).

You may have heard me as the voice of Southwest Airlines. I’ve been writing a middle grade detective novel for three years. You’ll be able to read it eventually.

I love boxing, science fiction, soul music and pour over coffee. I’m a morning person. Let’s make something together!
