My Portfolio
My clients have included national trade associations, government agencies, major financial institutions, corporations, and non-profit organizations, and I’ve traveled all over the U.S. and internationally to meet their needs.
The Future of Space
Fascinating discussion with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson at the National Business Aviation Association’s conference in Orlando. We chatted about everything from UFO’s to travel to the moon and Mars.

Advanced Air Mobility - Flying Air Taxis
Innovative aviation companies are developing the next generation of aircraft – small air taxis. At the 2022 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland, I spoke with key manufacturers about what it will take to make their vision a reality.
​
Where's the Economy Headed?
I was delighted to emcee a two-day economic conference in California for Societe Generale, a French-based bank and financial services company. The conference focused on inflation, rising interest rates, and a looming recession. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and other financial experts weighed in on the uncertain future.
Climate Change & Aviation's Challenges
Flying contributes to global warming, and climate activists have taken aim at business aviation. I sat down with the CEOs of the top business jet manufacturers at the 2023 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland to talk about their pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
​
Women Mean Business
I emceed the release of a report on women entrepreneurs and efforts to increase venture capital funds going to women. The report by the non-partisan organization OWL: The Voice of Women 40+ was unveiled at a packed event at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Money Matters
With over three decades in investment management experience, Anne Walsh, a top executive with Guggenheim Partners Investment Management was the perfect person to look into her crystal ball to see where the economy was heading. I had the pleasure of leading a discussion with her at French bank Societe Generale’s spring 2023 conference in La Jolla, California.
Early Childhood Education
Mark Shriver and others sat down with me at a panel in Philadelphia sponsored by the PBS NewsHour and Save the Children to talk about how to ensure that every child – from birth to age 5 – receives a quality education.
​
Rethinking High School
Lawmakers, educators, and technology innovators joined me in a discussion in Cleveland about changing the high school experience to better prepare students for college, careers, and life. The discussion was sponsored by XQ Institute and the PBS NewsHour.
Step Up to the Mic
It’s been gratifying to prepare CEO’s, government officials, university professors, and corporate medical officers for media interviews. In some cases, they’re prepping for a major press announcement, while in others they just want to be ready when the media comes calling.
