SPEAKING & MEDIA

​
I engage in regular speaking engagements throughout the year focused on the intersection of technology and public health, whether improving processes in the Food & Ag Sector, or how technology is impacting survivors of Cancer.
​
My speaking engagements run from 30 mn to 2 hour presentations, to half day round table discussions.
​
As an engaging speaker, I am known for the ability to speak clearly to my audiences, integrating them into the topic matter through direct interaction or tailored use cases, while taking complex technology matters and distilling it down to answer the audiences' question: Why does this matter to me?
Media

Game ON!, from 2008 through 2017, was a sports magazine TV show created locally in the Twin Cities each week and broadcast on FOX every Sunday morning prior to the national NFL coverage. Hosted by award winning talent Rod Simons, we cover all major sports in the market as well as the MIAC and other local teams/athletes.
In coordination with Rod, I provided business development and weekly on-site guest relations, while providing my award-winning photography talent for the show and social media channels. In this role, I have also created and maintain all of the online properties of Game ON!, including the website, social media venues of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the podcast service, our shows in iTunes, and mobile application.
Game ON! also produces Twins Territory, a weekly 2 hour magazine show featuring the Minnesota Twins and other great local sports stories from Minnesota. Rod passed away in 2017, but his legacy lives on for us all.
