Community Development

I build systems that tell stories - and stories that build systems.

From long-distance cycling routes to shortform video series, my work lives at the intersection of endurance, narrative design, and community. Years spent pushing into the outer edges of “Type 2 fun” - trail running, bikepacking, and thru-hiking - have shaped how I approach content: methodical, adaptive, and rooted in experience. Not spectacle for its own sake, but signal through the noise.

As a full-stack social strategist and content creator, I’ve launched digital ecosystems that span editorial, influencer, and brand verticals - but I’m most interested in where niche becomes necessary. Where obscure passions unlock shared language. Where weird is valuable.

I see storytelling not just as performance, but as a form of mapping: through terrain, through memory, through systems that hold meaning.

selected work history

  • Visual storytelling through endurance, terrain, and memory: self-produced, self-propelled.

  • Led brand storytelling across digital, editorial, and social with a sharp focus on EDC and utility.

  • Scaled social strategy and produced breakout content in the self-defense and EDC space.

  • Community engagement, social strategy, and branding overhaul for the leading scientific think tank investigating UAP phenomena.

  • Crafted immersive social narratives and sustained a loyal niche community for 10+ years.

  • Ongoing freelance work spanning brand voice development, UGC campaign builds, ghostwriting, editorial content, and social strategy for outdoor, tech, and cultural projects. A mix of one-offs and repeat clients who trust me to translate abstract ideas into clear, engaging outputs.
