About

I’m a strategic communicator with a passion for using language to build culture, drive behavior, and make people feel seen. With 20+ years of experience spanning financial services, coaching, journalism, and entrepreneurship, I specialize in turning complex ideas into clear, actionable messages that connect. At Empower, I lead initiatives that elevate internal communication and employee engagement — from developing call scripts that improve financial conversations, to launching the Gong & Coffee peer coaching program now used in new hire onboarding. As a member of the ALMA BRG’s Marketing & Communications Committee, I help shape inclusive messaging strategies and host cross-functional events that bring our company’s values to life. My storytelling also extends beyond corporate walls. I’m a freelance journalist with a focus on community-driven narratives, and I co-founded White Deer BBQ, where my wife and I built a brand rooted in connection, resilience, and good food. Whether I’m writing a script, moderating a panel, or publishing a story, I believe every message is a chance to create clarity, build trust, and empower others to grow.

Hartford, CT

I work within a division focused on supporting clients in the early stages of their financial journey, primarily those with under $100K in assets. Through one-on-one conversations, I help clients clarify their goals, understand their options, and take practical steps toward building a stronger financial foundation. A big part of my role is helping clients make sense of what they already have, whether that’s retirement accounts, outside investments, or savings, and guiding them through consolidating those assets into a more organized plan. I also support the development of investment recommendations by reviewing client portfolios, preparing proposals, and working through different scenarios so we can align solutions with each client’s goals and risk tolerance. The focus is always on making things simple, clear, and actionable so clients feel confident moving forward.

At Albright LLC, a family-owned ESCO specializing in energy-efficient lighting retrofits, I helped businesses reduce operating costs and improve sustainability by implementing cutting-edge lighting and control systems. I worked closely with clients to develop customized solutions for new construction, remodeling, and ongoing maintenance programs, ensuring they maximized efficiency while staying within budget. In addition to consulting on energy-efficient upgrades, I assisted clients in applying for state utility grants and rebate programs, leveraging the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction (CBTD) under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. By securing these incentives, I helped businesses lower upfront investment costs, making energy efficiency more accessible and financially viable. Through my work, I not only helped clients significantly cut energy expenses but also contributed to a greener, more sustainable future. My ability to bridge cost-saving strategies with environmental impact allowed companies to reduce their carbon footprint while improving profitability.
