I’m a communications, public relations, and marketing owner-operator with 25+ years of experience helping large, mid-sized, and scrappy organizations tell stories that actually land. I’ve never fit the traditional mold of a PR person and that is the very reason why I started J2 Comms.
My career didn’t follow a straight line, and that’s been my superpower. I’ve spent time on the corporate side, at global agencies, inside nonprofits, and started out in the media itself. That mix trained me to be adaptable, to look at challenges from every angle and to understand not just what a brand wants to say, but how it will be heard, interpreted, and felt.
As a lifelong news and sports junkie, storytelling is baked into my DNA. My guiding belief is simple. The goal isn’t saying what you want. It’s making sure the right people truly understand it.
Knowing how to simplify the complex, create emotional connection, and move people to consideration is powerful work. When it’s done right, it changes outcomes. That’s why I’m energized by working with good people, meaningful brands, and organizations trying to leave the world better than they found it.
When not in PR mode, I’m a family man who loves sports, time outdoors, music, ice cream, and my pit mix, Apollo. I’m a UGA grad (Go Dawgs) and also host a rocking podcast with three high school friends. And if I’m being honest, my dream job is hosting my own sports talk radio show.
