Creating practical solutions that protect children, strengthen communities, and inspire hope.

I have spent my life exploring how people, places, and possibilities come together to create change.

From Zionsville, Indiana to the University of Virginia, from Harvard to the United Nations, from classrooms to film sets, from local communities to more than 65 countries across all seven continents, my work has always centered on one belief:

I am the Founder of Blue Mosaic, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children, preventing exploitation, advancing education, and building stronger communities through advocacy, storytelling, and action.

A journey shaped by entrepreneurship, education, survival, service, and global discovery.

Documentaries that elevate overlooked voices and inspire civic action, including Traffikid and 

If It Could Happen to Me, It Could Happen to You.

A living collection of the people, places, lessons, and moments that shaped my life and work.

Stories and reflections from 65+ countries and all seven continents.

My nonprofit home for advocacy, awareness, and action.

My current work focuses on preventing child exploitation and human trafficking through:

 education, film, policy, and community collaboration.

Children deserve safety.

Survivors deserve dignity.

Communities deserve tools.

And stories deserve to become solutions.

This site is not just a biography.

It is a living archive of a life devoted to learning, building, surviving, creating, and serving.

It is a place for adventurous ventures, stories, ideas, films, essays, projects, photographs, and partnerships.

Most of all, it is a reminder that one person’s journey can become a bridge for others.

Welcome to the mosaic.
