VidCon Anaheim

I am a Midwest-born mama's boy that was adopted by California. As a husband to a successful entrepreneur, proud #GirlDad, podcast host, and curious marketer, I spend my days focused on enabling my tribe to grow and creating a more inclusive world.

At Visa, I lead our global marketing efforts to create brand partnerships and advocacy programs. I utilize my 20+ years of client and agency experience leading multi-faceted teams to create, scale and execute collaborative marketing initiatives and programs that drive growth by uplifting key stakeholders and communities.

As a host of What's Your Story? podcast, I sit with BIPOC leaders to learn how they have used their unique experiences to develop superpowers that make our world a better place. I'm a fan of stories and enjoy learning how I can improve myself from their experiences.
