I manage the digital presence of Olympic athletes and equestrian brands. I build their websites, run their social channels, produce their content, and place them in international publications.

I do it from Southeast Asia.

Before any of this I competed at Grand Prix, and I have spent nearly two decades on the other side of the arena as well, building sponsorship programs, running press campaigns, and telling the stories of people who have earned the right to be seen at the highest level. The instinct behind all of it has never changed. Good marketing is just good storytelling.

This site is where both worlds live. The client work is under Portfolio. The rest of it, the places and the people and the remarkable things that happen when you finally give yourself permission to explore, is here too.

In January 2025, I made the leap and relocated to Phuket, Thailand. And from the very first sunrise over the jungle covered mountains, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be. There is a kind of beauty here that does not just fill your eyes, it fills your spirit.

In November, I had the extraordinary opportunity to spend six months living in and exploring Sri Lanka, one of the most magical places I have ever visited. I will never forget floating in water so clear it barely looked real, watching giant sea turtles glide beneath me like they had all the time in the world. Moments like that stay with you. They remind you how small we are, and how much beauty is still waiting to be discovered.

Being able to build a career in media and communications while living this way, truly experiencing it, has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life.

Along the way, I have made friends from every corner of the world. I have wandered through rainforests, watched a herd of elephants swim across a wide river, scuba dived off some of the most incredible Thai islands, and filled a photo album with memories of Southeast Asia. These are the things I am grateful for.
