About

I lead marketing and communications for the Richard Nixon Foundation, a nonprofit organization that jointly operates and supports the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California, one of thirteen presidential libraries in the United States. Since 2012, I have managed day-to-day media relations and communications for Foundation. My tenure has included major campaigns and programs including the centennial commemoration of President Richard Nixon, the 40th anniversary of the return home of the Vietnam Prisoners of War (their first major reunion in decades), the $15 million renovation and reopening of the presidential museum and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
