I am a Creative VP in hospitality, a singer-songwriter, publisher, and narrative curator who believes the best stories are the ones lived and told well. For 18+ years, I have managed hospitality teams with a leadership style rooted in creativity, collaboration, and genuine care for people. My work has shaped everything from guest experiences to team culture- and it is the origin of my Substack series, The Art of the Host.
My artistic path began in Nashville, Tennessee, where I wrote songs, stood behind the mic on a radio show, and performed at iconic venues including the Blue Bird Cafe and Douglas Corner. My debut independent album, The Heart of Happiness, was released in 2012, and in 2013 I was inducted as a member of the Wheeling Jamboree, the second-longest-running radio show in America.
I have called Ohio home for over a decade and have been honored to perform at patriotic events across the region. In 2023, I took the stage to sing with the Ohio Valley Symphony. My song “Traveler's Prayer” - released in 2021 and reimagined in 2025 - inspired my journal, first published in 2025 and drawn from my personal and professional experiences.
Away from the stage and the office, I love aviation, traveling, and and trying new receipes for family and friends. I write from an artistic lens, bridging heritage and contemporary living, and curate stories at the intersection of hospitality, creativity, and the human spirit.
