Photography Keeps the Work Honest

I spend long weekends photographing wildlife—from coastal brown bears in Alaska to birds tucked between buildings in NYC. The through line is patience. You can’t rush tides or ask migrating flocks to hold position for better light.

That discipline mirrors my leadership philosophy. People-first teams need the same steady presence a photographer offers in the field: calm observation, gentle direction, and decisive action when the moment arrives.

Mentoring emerging photographers and community builders has become part of my creative practice. Helping people bring their ideas to life—on stage, in code, or through a lens—is the north star for everything I do.
